Axed Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann emerges as the bookies’ FAVOURITE to replace Antonio Conte as Tottenham manager in a shock twist, overtaking both Ryan Mason and Mauricio Pochettino

  • Julian Nagelsmann is now the favourite to replace Antonio Conte at Tottenham 
  • The German coach, 35, has been sacked by Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich 
  • Ryan Mason and former manager Mauricio Pochettino are also in the running

Julian Nagelsmann has emerged as the favourite to replace Antonio Conte as Tottenham manager after being sacked by Bayern Munich

The 35-year-old was reportedly informed of his stunning departure on Thursday while on a skiing holiday in Austria, with Bayern sat one point behind Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga title race. 

Bayern are set to appoint Thomas Tuchel as their new manager, with the former Chelsea boss ready to get to work on Monday. And Nagelsmann too is linked with a new job, overtaking both Ryan Mason and Mauricio Pochettino as the favourite to become the next Spurs boss. 

Conte remains in charge of Tottenham at this point, but his future hangs in the balance. The italian’s contract is due to expire in the summer – though Spurs do hold an option to extend his deal by 12 months –  and Sportsmail understands the club have already started identifying candidates to replace him. 

The 53-year-old has flown back to his family home in Turin during the international break, with Mason taking charge of training following Conte’s extraordinary rant at his players after their draw against Southampton.

A number of candidates have emerged as possible replacements should chairman Daniel Levy pull the trigger and sack Conte, including Luis Enrique, Oliver Glasner and, of course, former manager Pochettino.
