Antonio Conte looks set to appoint former Leeds United coach Gianni Vio to his Tottenham Hotspur coaching staff. Vio is regarded as a set-piece expert and, according to Football London, Conte is keen to get him on board in north London in a bid to improve Spurs’ threat from dead ball situations, having seen his side struggle in recent times.
Vio was the man in charge of Italy’s set-pieces at Euro 2020 and he is credited with playing a huge role as they went on to win the tournament at Wembley. However, the 69-year-old also spent time in the Leeds' ranks after being brought in to work with Thomas Christiansen during the 2017-18 Championship season.
He was hailed as one of the best in the world at the time of his appointment after the work he had done at Brentford, transforming the west London outfit into one of the most dangerous teams around at set-pieces. However, the Whites ultimately flattered to deceive in similar positions during his time at Elland Road.
