Five managers who could replace Antonio Conte at Tottenham including Real Madrid and Barcelona royalty

ANTONIO CONTE’s future at Tottenham is hanging by a thread.

Reports claim the Italian boss could even be sacked during the international break after his scathing rant at the club following Saturday’s 3-3 draw at Southampton.

SunSport exclusively revealed that Spurs stars were left stunned by the comments, with several wanting Conte axed now.

The 53-year-old slammed the players — and also attacked Tottenham owners — in an extraordinary outburst on Saturday, calling the situation “unacceptable”.

Spurs do not play now until a trip to Everton on April 3, but whether Conte will still be in the dugout by then remains to be seen.

Here SunSport takes a look at five potential replacements for the Italian.

Mauricio Pochettino

Mauricio Pochettino is the current bookies favourite to land the job.

The Argentinian gaffer led Spurs to the Champions League final in 2019 but was sacked just six months later.

Poch, 55, has been out of work since being leaving Paris Saint-Germain last July.

And ex-Arsenal man Paul Merson has urged Spurs to sack Conte and replace the Italian with former gaffer Pochettino.

Marco Silva

SunSport exclusively revealed last week that Fulham boss Marco Silva is emerging as a top contender for the Spurs job.

The 45-year-old led Fulham to promotion from the Championship last season and now has the Cottagers challenging for a European place.

Silva has previously managed in the Prem at Hull, Watford and Everton, with Spurs now understood to be interested in his services.

The Portuguese gaffer is out of contract at Craven Cottage at the end of next season.

Luis Enrique

Spaniard Luis Enrique has been out of work since stepping down as Spain gaffer after a disappointing World Cup campaign in Qatar.

The Spaniard quit following the Round of 16 penalty shootout defeat to Morocco.

But the 52-year-old did win two La Liga titles as manager of Barcelona, as well as the Champions League in 2015.

And reports suggest Enrique is open to becoming Spurs boss.

Thomas Tuchel

German gaffer Thomas Tuchel was sacked by Chelsea last September.

Spurs have a track record of hiring former Blues bosses in Jose Mourinho and Conte, although that is yet to work out for them successfully.

However, SunSport exclusively revealed earlier this month that Tuchel would need to be convinced that the Tottenham job is right for him.

The 49-year-old led the Blues to Champions League glory in 2021.

Zinedine Zidane

Football icon Zinedine Zidane has been linked with both the Manchester United and Chelsea jobs in the past.

However, the former Real Madrid gaffer reportedly snubbed the chance to manage United because of the language barrier.

But the 50-year-old could now be a candidate for the Spurs hot seat.

Zidane has guided Los Blancos to three Champions League triumphs across two spells as boss, but has been out of the dugout since May 2021.
