Luciano Spalletti emerges as an option for Tottenham Hotspur should Antonio Conte quit
According to Italian newspaper Il Mattino, Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti has emerged as an option for Tottenham Hotspur as a managerial replacement should Antonio Conte fail to renew his current deal with the club.
Luciano Spalletti has been making headlines recently, with Premier League giants Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Everton all reportedly interested in the Napoli manager.
Spalletti has guided his team to the knockout stages of the Champions League and an impressive 15 points clear at the top of the Serie A table this season. His contract is set to expire in June, leaving his future up in the air.
Spalletti has managed 80 games for his current team, watching Napoli win 55 of them. Despite his success, there are no guarantees that he will remain at Napoli beyond his current contract. He has been one of the best managers in Europe this season.
Interest from Premier League clubs is said to be ramping up but Manchester United and Everton already seem unlikely. It would take something absolutely stunning for the Red Devils to sack Erik ten Hag right now. Dyche has just started off at Everton.
That leaves Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham as the most realistic options. However, Klopp is likely to be given time to turn Liverpool’s season around, and Chelsea may not be a long-term option for Spalletti if Graham Potter is sacked due to poor results.

That leaves Tottenham as a strong contender. However, it remains to be seen whether Antonio Conte will remain as manager beyond the summer. If not, Tottenham may look to Spalletti to fill the void.
Spalletti has a proven track record of success, and his tactical ability and experience could be an asset to any team. He has a strong understanding of the game, and his teams are often well-drilled and hard to beat.
It remains to be seen where Spalletti will end up, but one thing is for sure: he is a manager in high demand. His success at Napoli has not gone unnoticed, and it is clear that he has the ability to manage at the highest level.
