Antonio Conte to Tottenham - LIVE!
Hello and welcome to our live rolling coverage of the news that Tottenham have appointed Conte as their new head coach.
The former Chelsea boss has been confirmed, having been the front-runner for the job since Nuno Espirito Santo was sacked on Monday morning.
Conte has agreed an 18-month deal with Spurs, who will be hoping the Italian can bring the instant success to the club that he has achieved in his previous managerial roles at Juventus, Inter Milan and Chelsea.
The 52-year-old will take charge of his new club for the first time at home to Vitesse Arnhem on Thursday night in the Europa Conference League.
Nuno was relieved of his duties by Spurs chairman Daniel Levy after only four months at the helm after crisis talks held following Saturday’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester United.
The decision to sack Nuno comes after a disappointing run of results that has left Tottenham eighth in the Premier League.
Nuno was appointed on a two-year contract in July at the end of a protracted and often chaotic 72-day search for a successor to Jose Mourinho, during which talks with Conte broke down.
Levy has been reluctant to make another managerial change but he was furious after the embarrassing defeat to United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
