Spurs have moved quickly to fill their managerial void by appointing the Italian Coach Antonio Conte, with the Premier League and Serie A title-winning coach taking the reins

Antonio Conte has been appointed Tottenham manager to replace Nuno Espirito Santo who has just been relieved of his duty following a below par performance with the Italian signing an initial 18-month contract that includes an extension option.

Nuno only took the reins in north London back in June, but he lasted just four months before pressure from the disillusioned fan base led to another change being made.

Conte, who met with his new squad for the first time on Tuesday morning, returns to the Premier League three years on from a stint at Chelsea that delivered top-flight title glory and an FA Cup triumph.
