Tottenham in advanced talks with Conte after sacking Nuno as manager

Tottenham are in advanced talks with Antonio Conte over their manager’s job after sacking Nuno Espírito Santo, with the Italian understood to be close to accepting their offer. Nuno has departed after only four months and 17 matches in charge.
Negotiations between Conte and Tottenham broke down in the summer but he remains out of work and the club’s managing director of football, Fabio Paratici, is confident a deal will be done. Conte is expected in London on Monday to continue discussions in the hope of sealing an agreement.
Conte is generally averse to taking a job midway through a season but made it known he would make an exception for Manchester United if Ole Gunnar Solskjær were sacked and Spurs believe they have convinced him to take the same view of their offer. Conte is asking for guarantees regarding the next transfer windows and for a long-term contract. Nuno was given a two-year deal in late June.
Talks collapsed with Conte in June after Tottenham thought they were close to a deal. At that point Paratici, who worked with the manager at Juventus, had not been hired. Conte, who has won top-flight league titles with Juve, Chelsea and Internazionale, left Inter in May over their plan to sell players.
