Tottenham Hotspur has appointed former Chelsea coach Antonio Conte as its new manager following the sacking of Nuno Espirito Santo.

Nuno was relieved of his duties on Monday, 1st November after less than five months at the club, with Saturday’s 3-0 defeat by Manchester United being his final game in charge.

The 52-year-old Italian has signed an 18-month contract with an option to extend it further.

“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,” Conte told Tottenham’s website.

“Tottenham Hotspur has state-of-the-art facilities and one of the best stadiums in the world. I can’t wait to start working to convey to the team and the fans the passion, mentality and determination that have always distinguished me, as a player and as a coach.”

For his part, the club’s managing director, Fabio Paratici, said: “We are delighted to welcome Antonio to the Club. His track record speaks for itself, with vast experience and trophies in both Italy and England.

“I know first-hand the qualities Antonio can bring to us, having worked with him at Juventus, and look forward to seeing his work with our talented group of players.”

Conte who guided the Blues to the 2016-17 Premier League title and the FA Cup the following season, has taken up his first managerial post since leaving Inter Milan, where he won last season’s Serie A title.
