Antonio Conte has been appointed Tottenham boss following Nuno Espirito Santo’s sacking, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The former Chelsea manager has signed an 18-month contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

He reportedly turned down the job in the summer over his transfer demands but Spurs have moved quickly to snap him up this time around.

Now they will hope he can turn around a season that is stuttering badly with five defeats in their past seven league games.

Conte, 46, has been out of work since leaving Serie A champions Inter Milan in the summer.

He previously won the Premier League with Chelsea and has a reputation as one of the best coaches in the modern game.

But he is also a fiery character and how his relationship with chairman Daniel Levy develops will be key to any success he may have at Spurs.

Conte worked with managing director of football Fabio Paratici at Juventus and that rapport helped Spurs convince him to join.

His first game in charge will be at home to Vitesse in the Europa Conference League on Thursday night, ahead of a Premier League clash at Everton.
