Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte says the club need to take responsibility for the current situation and feels that his players don't want to play under pressure

Julian Nagelsmann is open to talks with Tottenham about becoming their next manager – but he may want a short period of reflection before his next role.

Spurs are interested in Nagelsmann following his sacking by Bayern Munich and the departure of Antonio Conte as Tottenham's head coach.

Naglesmann's replacement by Thomas Tuchel at Bayern has paved the way for Spurs chairman Daniel Levy to try and court a manager he has admired for some time.

The 35-year-old was on Levy's radar when they sacked Mauricio Pochettino and replaced him with Jose Mourinho in 2019. They also unsuccessfully attempted to replace Mourinho with the German in 2021, shortly before he joined Bayern.

After his latest post-match rant, here's a look back at some of Antonio Conte's most explosive moments as Tottenham boss

Nagelsmann, who could seek some time away following his dismissal, has long kept an eye on happening at Tottenham.

In a 2019 interview, he admitted watching Tottenham matches "since Mauricio Pochettino was there. He is a really good manager and his team was great to look at as a spectator".

Nagelsmann would also regularly tune into Mourinho's media briefings at the club. "I love Jose's press conferences," he said.

Spurs have been doing due diligence on a number of potential managers for several weeks.

Among the other names Levy has admired for some time are Marco Silva, Roberto De Zerbi, Sergio Conceicao and Thomas Frank, while Vincent Kompany has emerged as a credible name following his impact in one season at Burnley.
