Antonio Conte has been appointed new head coach of English Premier League side, Tottenham Hotspur.
Prompt News recalls that the erstwhile coach Nuno Espirito Santo, was sacked on Monday.
Daniel Levy, Tottenham chairman had targeted Conte, before appointing Nuno in the summer.
Conte has now signed an 18-month contract – with an option to extend – at Tottenham following successful talks with the club’s hierarchy in London on Monday.
“I am extremely happy to return to coaching, and to do so at a Premier League club that has the ambition to be a protagonist again.
“I can’t wait to start working to convey to the team and the fans the passion, mentality and determination that have always distinguished me, as a player and as a coach.
“Last summer our union did not happen because the end of my relationship with Inter was still too recent and emotionally too involved with the end of the season, so I felt that it wasn’t yet the right time to return to coaching.
“But the contagious enthusiasm and determination of Daniel Levy in wanting to entrust me with this task had already hit the mark. Now that the opportunity has returned, I have chosen to take it with great conviction,” Conte told Tottenham’s website.
