Tottenham make ‘contact with Eintracht Frankfurt manager Oliver Glasner’ to replace Antonio Conte

Tottenham make ‘contact with Eintracht Frankfurt manager Oliver Glasner’ to replace Antonio Conte after reports that Daniel Levy could remove the Italian as manager this week… but ‘Real Madrid and Chelsea are also interested’

Tottenham have reportedly made contact with Eintracht Frankfurt manager Oliver Glasner to replace Antonio Conte. 

Tottenham conceded two late goals to blow a 3-1 lead against Southampton on Saturday.

Conte, 53, then accused his team of lacking professionalism in a 10-minute rant that also took aim at the culture of the club over the last 20 years.

It has now been reported that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy could remove the Italian as manager this week. 

The 48-year-old Austrian boss, whose contract expires in 2024, has been contacted by Tottenham, according to Bild.

Glasner guided Frankfurt to an impressive Europa League win last season, however they were unable to beat Serie A leaders Napoli in the last 16 this year.

Former Frankfurt head coach Friedhelm Funkel said Glasner would be tempted by such interest. 

‘Eintracht Frankfurt is a great club, but there are even more attractive jobs,’ he told Sky Sport Germany on Sunday.

‘If a request comes from abroad, then I believe that Oliver will think about it.’

He added: ‘At Eintracht, you don’t know whether the team can be kept together… the risk of staying in Frankfurt is too great.’

Tottenham are reportedly set to face competition from Real Madrid and Chelsea for Glasner though. 

Conte has recently seen his side exit the FA Cup and Champions League in quick succession. 

His arrival at Tottenham at the end of 2021 was meant to usher in a new trophy-laden era for the club after his past success at Juventus, Chelsea and Inter Milan.

He guided Tottenham to an impressive top-four finish last season, but despite a flurry of transfer activity in the summer, results have been patchy this term.

Conte’s departure had been expected to come in the summer when his contract expires.
