Spurs board accepts Conte leaving; Glasner, Spalletti added to shortlist

Tottenham's board are accepting manager Antonio Conte will be leaving.

The Times says there is a growing acceptance at the club that his tenure his over with the only real question remaining being when he will leave.

The Italian's contract expires at the end of the season, which could mark a convenient point to part ways, but there are arguments to move earlier.

Conte oversaw victory against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Former Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino is a favourite with the bookies to return to the role having been left without a club since he was sacked by PSG last summer. However, a number of other names are in the frame including Luis Enrique, Ruben Amorim (Sporting CP), Oliver Glasner (Eintracht Frankfurt) and Luciano Spalletti (Napoli), with talks ongoing about the best replacement.
