A new era has begun at Spurs as Antonio Conte prepares to take charge of his first Tottenham game in the Premier League.

Spurs head to Everton on Sunday hoping to return to winning ways in the top flight.

Conte will hope to make it two wins in a row after steering Tottenham to a 3-2 win over Vitesse in the Europa Conference League.

Spurs began the season well under Nuno Espirito Santo but things went pear-shared after the September international break.

Tottenham have lost their last two games in the league, and Manchester United embarrassed them in a 3-0 defeat last week.

This culminated in Spurs parting company with Nuno and bringing Conte in as his replacement.

It could’ve been different had Tottenham beaten the Red Devils, however.

According to Roberto Gotta, via Tuttomercatoweb, Conte was “waiting until the very last minute” for the United job to come available.

The Italian was seen as one of the leading contenders to take on the job at Old Trafford if the club decided to sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

However, the Norwegian earned himself a reprieve, while Daniel Levy opted to sack Nuno following the game.

Now, it looks as though pressure is piling on Solskjaer again, in wake of a dismal 2-0 home defeat to rivals Manchester City.

And at 2:31pm today, just minutes after full time at Old Trafford, Spurs shared a video of Conte taking training at Hotspur Way.
