From nowhere as former Man City captain top list of successful candidates to sign for Tottenham

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany has ’emerged as a leading contender’ for the Tottenham Hotspur job and would be interested in joining.

Who could take Conte’s place at Spurs?

Since former manager Antonio Conte left the club by mutual consent recently, a number of in-house and free agent managers have been linked with his replacement.

Chairman Daniel Levy is set to begin the club’s off-field search for a managerial successor, with both Cristian Stellini and assistant coach Ryan Mason tasked with guiding Spurs to a top-four Premier League finish. Mauricio Pochettino, Julian Nagelsmann, Luis Enrique, and Zinedine Zidane are among their targets, and many more appear to be in the running on a regular basis.

There have been reports of serious interest in Eintracht Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner, for example, while closer to home, Roberto De Zerbi of Brighton and Thomas Frank of Brentford are being watched.

Even Kompany, who has no managerial experience in the English Premier League, has been linked with the job at Spurs.

What’s the latest on Kompany to Spurs?

The Sun has now shared some information about the 36-year-old potentially joining Tottenham, describing him as a new ‘leading contender’ to become the club’s new manager.

Furthermore, Kompany is said to be ‘interested’ in the job, with Levy personally impressed by his brilliant work at Burnley and exciting brand of football.

The Sun also reports that Spurs are putting together a shortlist for Conte’s replacement, with Nagelsmann, Pochettino, Enrique, Frank, and Marco Silva all in the running.

The Sun also claims that Spurs are putting together a shortlist of candidates to replace Conte, including Nagelsmann, Pochettino, Enrique, Frank, and Marco Silva.

However, we believe it is far more prudent for the former City star to continue his work at Turf Moor rather than jump into the chaos that is currently engulfing north London.
