Tottenham want to hold talks with Julian Nagelsmann as uncertainty looms over Antonio Conte
Tottenham want to talk to Julian Nagelsmann, who is holding exit talks with Bayern Munich TODAY, as uncertainty looms over Antonio Conte’s future.
Tottenham want to hold talks with Julian Nagelsmann as uncertainty reigns over the future of current head coach Antonio Conte.
And Sportsmail understands that in an earlier attempt by Spurs to discuss the manager’s position with the German manager, they were informed that the German manager has a soft spot for the north London club, raising hopes he may consider joining.
Bayern Munich are moving to sack Nagelsmann and replace him with former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, who had been on Tottenham’s list of possible Conte successors.
But the new availability of Nagelsmann has put Tottenham bosses on red alert as they continue to plan for a life without Conte.
Spurs have twice considered the 35-year-old for the coaching job, most recently in 2021 following the departure of Jose Mourinho.

Antonio Conte is still in charge of Tottenham for now but his future is at stake
Julian Nagelsmann rushed back to Bayern Munich’s training ground on Friday for crucial talks with the club’s board, after news of his impending sacking hit the headlines on Thursday night.
But at the time he was on the road to Bayern Munich and a deal did not materialise.
Two years later, however, Spurs are set to review their long-term interest in the former RB Leipzig boss, a move that would certainly excite the fanbase.
Conte remains absent from Tottenham training on Friday amid growing confusion over whether or not he will return to England.
Tottenham players and staff expect Conte to lose his job, but there was a feeling that his departure would have been formalized by now.
Bayern have lined up former Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain boss Thomas Tuchel to succeed Nagelsmann, and the German is set to start work on Monday after Nagelsmann’s departure.

Talks have begun on the terms of the Italian’s departure, a clear sign of Tottenham’s intentions.
But Conte, despite not being in the country, remains the Spurs coach as it is.
Ryan Mason and Cristian Stellini have been training in Conte’s absence this week, but chairman Daniel Levy knows he will have to clarify who will be in charge of the team for next weekend’s trip to Everton.
Tottenham’s international players will start returning from Monday, when Conte would normally be back at the club’s Enfield headquarters.
