Jamie Redknapp names ‘two really good managers’ for Tottenham as Conte replacement

By Saikat -

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte’s future at the club is in major doubt following his explosive press conference after the draw against Southampton.

The Italian manager questioned the attitude and mentality of the players and the ambition of the club after the game.

Popular pundit Jamie Redknapp feels that Antonio Conte is now trying to talk his way out of the job and his position is becoming untenable at the London club.

He said (h/t HITC): “It feels almost, with what he said there, that his position has become almost untenable,. I don’t really see where this goes from here. I said it earlier in the season, after the Nottingham Forest game, I felt he was talking his way out of a job.

“He talks about the players. When you start singling out your team and your players. That’s a short-fire way of losing that dressing room. I don’t see that one. I think he’s mainly talking about the owners and having spent 15 years there.”

Conte will be a free agent in the summer and Tottenham have not made efforts to renew his contract so far.

It seems that the Italian will be on his way out of the club in the summer and he has been linked with a return to Italy.

Redknapp claims that there are too good options for Tottenham to fall back on. He believes that the Londoners should look to appoint former manager Mauricio Pochettino or the former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel. Both managers are currently out of a job and they have certainly proven their quality across multiple clubs.

“There are two options out there. Two really good managers. One that he (Levy) has had before, whether you go back? They say ‘you never go back’ in Pochettino.

“And, the other one, who is a fantastic manager, is Thomas Tuchel. They are two options that you think you can maybe go back to. If you think this is going to be detrimental to the team, the squad and the environment you are trying to create, then you get rid of another manager.”

Pochettino helped Tottenham challenge for the league title and the Champions League during his time at the club. Meanwhile, Tuchel helped Chelsea win the Champions League trophy during his time at Stamford bridge.

Tottenham will need to bring in a quality replacement for Conte and the two managers are certainly exciting options for them.

It remains to be seen whether Daniel Levy decides to bring Pochettino back to the club.  Apparently, he has a strong relationship with the Argentine manager.

Alternatively, Tuchel is one of the best tacticians in Europe and he could prove to be an inspiring addition as well.
