The casting of Tottenham for the after Antonio Conte has begun and the names of Mauricio Pochettino and Thomas Tuchel are mentioned, writes the Guardian.
Which gives for certain the separation between the London club and the Italian coach in June, with the natural expiry of the contract, unless the elimination from the Champions League is not followed by a collapse in the league, where fourth place is undermined by Liverpool and Newcastle .
Tomorrow Spurs will face Nottingham Forest at home and another result than the victory could accelerate the change on the bench.
Conte's fate was decided by three bad knockouts in a row: the FA Cup defeat (1-0) against Sheffield United on Wednesday last week;
that (another 1-0) against Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday;
the 0-0 draw at home against Milan, which cost them the exit in the round of 16 of the Champions League, after losing 1-0 in Milan.
For Pochettino it would be a return.
The Argentinian has already coached Tottenham since 2014 for five seasons and a bit.
Best results second place in the league and the Champions final in 2019, lost to Liverpool.
He's been at a standstill since he was sacked by Paris Saint-Germain last July.
As free from commitments is Tuchel, sacked in September by Chelsea.
The German coach has already said that he would prefer to stay in the Premier League.
