Tottenham want to talk to Julian Nagelsmann about succeeding Antonio Conte as their manager. The club are expected to part company with Conte, his tenure gravely undermined last Saturday after an explosive rant about the players, and Nagelsmann has become available after his shock sacking by Bayern Munich, presenting Spurs with an opportunity.

Nagelsmann has been replaced at Bayern by the former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, who Spurs had considered as a possible post-Conte option. Tuchel inherits a team that will face Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-final and, possibly, Chelsea in the semi-final.

Spurs were interested in Nagelsmann in 2021 after they dismissed José Mourinho but he was set on a move to Bayern from RB Leipzig. The 35-year-old won the Bundesliga title in his first season and the team are currently second in the table, one point off the leaders, Borussia Dortmund, who they face in their first game after the international break.
