Tottenham New COACH: Time up for Antonio Conte! High-flying Fulham boss Marco Silva in POLE position to replace Conte at Tottenham Hotspur with Daniel Levy viewing ‘extremely talented young coach’ to turn Spurs into Premier League hopefuls:
Despite a recent 3-0 home defeat to Arsenal, Fulham remains in contention for a European spot with 11 league games remaining and is on track to finish in the top half of the table.
What other managers have been linked with Tottenham?
Silva’s contract with Fulham will end next season, is highly regarded for his exceptional talent and the remarkable revival of his career in west London after being dismissed by Everton in December 2019.
Other names rumored for a return to Tottenham include Mauricio Pochettino, former Spain and Barcelona boss Luis Enrique, and ex-Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy may appreciate the manner in which Silva has constructed a competitive team without overspending, which is a philosophy he still upholds at the club.
However, it is uncertain whether captain Harry Kane would consider Silva’s appointment as proof that the club can win trophies in the near future, which could result in him exploring other possibilities during the summer transfer window.

After sacking Jose Mourinho in April and failing to secure the services of several high-profile managers, they eventually appointed Nuno Espirito Santo, who was dismissed after only 10 Premier League games before being replaced by Conte.
Conte had signed an 18-month contract in November 2021, with the option of an additional year, and led the team to a fourth-place finish in the previous season.
Despite spending £170m during the summer transfer window, Tottenham is struggling to secure a top-four finish by May, trailing 18 points behind their arch-rivals and the top-ranked Gunners.
Conte has also faced criticism lately for his squad selections and playing style, following Tottenham’s elimination from both the FA Cup fifth round by Sheffield United and the Champions League last 16 by AC Milan.
