Tottenham have 'made contact' with former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann over their managerial vacancy after Antonio Conte was sacked last week. The German boss was dismissed from his role with the German giants before swiftly being replaced by ex-Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel.
Conte's exit from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium came just a week after his explosive post-match press conference outburst following the 3-3 draw at Southampton. Club chairman Daniel Levy said in a statement: "We have 10 Premier League games remaining and we have a fight on our hands for a Champions League place.
"We all need to pull together. Everyone has to step up to ensure the highest possible finish for our Club and amazing, loyal supporters"

Spurs have now made contact with Nagelsmann over their vacant managerial position, according to Sky Germany. The former Bayern boss is thought to be taking time over a decision about his future despite reports also linking him to Real Madrid - with Carlo Ancelotti rumoured to become Brazil's next manager.
Tottenham confirmed that Cristian Stellini - Conte's former assistant - will remain at the club and lead the team for the rest of the season as interim head coach, taking charge alongside Ryan Mason. Sky Germany's report states that they approached Spurs for a comment, but their request was refused.
A report from the Daily Mail states that Levy has made Nagelsmann his 'top target' to replace Conte at N17 and is seeking clarification from the German as to whether he would be interested in succeeding the Italian at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The 35-year-old's immediate availability, along with the fact that he can be appointed without having to pay compensation, makes him a very attractive prospect.
Levy is thought to be aware of how difficult it is going to be to attract Nagelsmann to Spurs, however, given he is likely to have numerous options. The German still has admirers at Chelsea where Graham Potter's future continues to draw speculation after a difficult season at Stamford Bridge.
