Tottenham Hotspur have had a chastening week in their hunt for a new manager with their move to land Antonio Conte failing.
Spurs had looked set to name the ex-Chelsea and Inter Milan boss as Jose Mourinho’s replacement but the two parties were unable to find an agreement.
Some reports in Italy suggest Conte did not feel the club were able to compete for silverware in the immediate future and would have required significant financial backing.
There were also claims Tottenham may not have happy with Conte’s views on giving youngsters Oliver Skipp and Ryan Sessegnon a chance, while Harry Kane’s uncertain future was another sticking point.
It leaves the Lilywhites, who sacked Mourinho in late April, closing in on two months without a manager, although they are set to appoint ex-Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici as director of football.
So what next for Spurs and chairman Daniel Levy as time ticks by in a vital summer for the club as they look to bounce back from a tough two years.
