Tuchel finally reacted as former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte set to accept Tottenham job
According to latest reports, Chelsea gaffer Thomas Tuchel reacted to Antonio Conte being the frontrunner to become the new Tottenham Hotspur manager. The Lilywhites sacked Nuno Espírito Santo after just four months, following a run of lackluster performances.
Here’s what Tuchel had to say on the subject:
“I got the news today that one of my colleagues (Nuno) got sacked and this is never good news or nice to hear. But I will not comment on any other club’s decision on head coaches or talk about that. You can ask me again if it happens and right now I will not take place in speculation.”
Spurs had a rather uneventful Premier League outing at home against Manchester United. They were outclassed in every department, allowing Solskjær’s men to score three goals past their back-line.
Antonio Conte has been linked with a move to Manchester United, should Solskjær be sakced in subsequent weeks. However, this weekend’s win against Spurs buys the Norwegian more time to showcase his true mettle.
Tottenham, on the flip side, find themselves in murky waters. They are 10 points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea and currently without a manager.
Now that Manchester United have cooled their interest in the Italian manager, Spurs might consider making a move for Conte, who is currently without a club right now.
Conte is averse to joining a new club mid-season. But he would’ve considered managing United if Solskjær was to be sacked. Reports suggest Tottenham Hotspur have convinced him to view their offer through the same lens.
