Antonio Conte is now the Head Coach of Tottenham [Tottenham Website]
English club Tottenham Hotspur have announced the appointment of Antonio Conte as new boss.
The Italian has signed an 18-month deal at the London Club, following the dismissal of Nuno Espirito Santo on Monday.
The 52-year-old Italian had been targeted by Tottenham before the appointment of the Portuguese in the summer, but talks failed to materialise.
However, following talks with the Tottenham hierarchy in London yesterday, the former Premier League winner has agreed to take over the manager’s role at the club, and has the option to extend his contract.
Conte has won three Scudettos with Juventus, the Premier League with Chelsea and also led Italy to the Euro 2016 quarter finals.
“I am extremely happy to return to coaching and to do so at a Premier League club that has the ambition to be a protagonist again. Tottenham Hotspur has state-of-the-art facilities and one of the best stadiums in the world,” said Conte.
