Mauricio Pochettino and Thomas Tuchel are leading the race to replace Antonio Conte as Tottenham head coach at the end of the season. The Italian sees his contract with Spurs expire in the summer but the north London outfit hold the option to extend his deal by a further 12 months if they wish to do so.
football.london understand that Tottenham are hoping to tie Conte down to a new long-term contract to increase stability at Hotspur Way. The former Chelsea boss has previously admitted that he struggled to acclimatise to life at N17, being at a club not as high up in the food chain compared to his title-winning tasks in the past.
In January, Conte also insisted that he will leave Spurs if he is 'not convinced' by the project anymore. With the Tottenham coach yet to pen an extension, significant doubt has been cast over the future of his position in north London.
