Tottenham want to appoint Antonio Conte as their next manager despite rumours of a Mauricio Pochettino return, according to reports.

It was suggested last week that Pochettino could be in line for a sensational second spell at Spurs, who sacked him in November 2019.

Levy is keen to shake up Spurs’ structure after a disappointing season which saw them finish seventh in the Premier League.

The former Chelsea boss did not agree with Inter’s plans for the summer, which include the probable sale of several first-team stars.

Everyone is aware that if I wanted to extend my deal at Tottenham, I would’ve done so already. I’m not going to do it in six months,” he told L’Equipe

“I’ve reached the end of a cycle and it’s time to look elsewhere. The two parties, Tottenham’s board and my agents, have agreed upon the conditions. We’ll see after that. 

“I’ve never hidden by desire to return to PSG one day. It’s the club of my heart, the one that I support and I feel free to speak about it. 

“But I don’t want people to think that I’m stuck on them and I’m not closing the door on anyone. 

“But if the club were to make an offer this summer, it’s sure that PSG would be my first choice.”
