Tottenham news: Daniel Levy told who should replace Antonio Conte amid Harry Kane update

Your morning Tottenham Hotspur digest on Tuesday, March 14.

Paul Merson gives Daniel Levy manager advice

Arsenal legend Paul Merson has told Spurs chairman to try and replace current head coach Antonio Conte with Brentford boss Thomas Frank. “For Daniel Levy, I think the box that ticks is Thomas Frank," Merson told Sky Sports.

“He sings off the same hymn sheet as Daniel Levy. They want to get in good deals, good players, a lot less for what the big boys get them.”

Conte is into the final six months of his contract in north London and football.london understands that it's difficult to see a future in which Conte is the head coach of Tottenham next season. With the current mood around the club, it's just as unlikely that any relationship between the Italian and the board will last beyond the end of the current campaign.

Spurs told to follow Mikel Arteta blueprint

In a column for The Times, former Chelsea man Tony Cascarino has suggested that Spurs replace the aforementioned Conte with Burnley boss Vincent Kompany.

Cascarino wrote: "I think it’s time they [Tottenham] were much bolder and more original in their thinking — they need to think like Arsenal. When they appointed Mikel Arteta in December 2019, Arsenal made a bold decision but it was bold because Arteta was young and lacked experience. It wasn’t bold in terms of talent — he was a highly regarded young coach and tipped by many to succeed Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

"Well now there’s another young, inexperienced manager who is being tipped to be a future City manager - Vincent Kompany. Guardiola himself said in the past week that he believes Kompany could be a future City manager so why don’t Tottenham, a club in need of enthusiasm and fresh impetus and ideas appoint the next bright young manager around instead of going for the usual names?"
