Spurs urged to approach ‘brilliant’ 51-year-old coach who’d help them ‘keep Harry Kane’

Tottenham Hotspur would be “able to keep Harry Kane” if they appointed Antonio Conte, according to Jamie O’Hara.

Spurs are currently on the lookout for a new manager after parting company with Jose Mourinho last month.

Earlier this month, Corriere dello Sport reported that Tottenham have been in contact with the representatives of the Inter Milan manager.

The outlet claimed that, while he reaffirmed his commitment to the Nerazzurri, he didn’t rule out the possibility of a move to north London.

Talks were said to have been fruitful and even reached a point where the two parties were discussing the current Tottenham squad, added the report.

“I think if Tottenham got Antonio Conte, they’d be able to keep Harry Kane – he’s a brilliant manager,” O’Hara told talkSPORT.

“He won the Premier League title with Chelsea and yes he got the sack, but that’s what Chelsea do. It’s their culture.

“He’s gone to Inter Milan and he’s won the league there, too. He’s a top manager… personally, I would like Antonio Conte, but I can’t see it happening.”

TBR View:

Conte is a high-calibre manager with an impressive CV who has just achieved a great feat – ending Juventus’ nine-year stranglehold on the Scudetto.

He has a Premier League triumph and an FA Cup victory to his name from his time at Chelsea, plus four Serie A titles, two Italian Super Cups and a Serie B title.

O’Hara is right in suggesting Spurs have a big job on their hands if they are to get his signature, but stranger things have happened in football.
