Julian Nagelsmann is reportedly on Tottenham’s radar following the departure of Antonio Conte with the club keen to speak to the German.
The north London outfit announced they had parted ways with the Italian on Sunday night following a week of intense speculation.

Conte lasted just 16 months in charge of Spurs, where he guided them to the top four last season, with the side sitting in fourth this term.
But Spurs have been knocked out of all cup competitions as their trophy drought continues, with the board taking exception to his explosive meltdown in the aftermath of the 3-3 draw away at Southampton.
Labelling the players as ‘selfish’ with no ‘heart’ or ‘desire’, Conte also took aim at the ownership of the club.
Chairman Daniel Levy acted to remove Conte from his contract that was due to expire at the end of the campaign, with Cristian Stellini to take over as the acting head coach until the summer, with Ryan Mason his assistant.
Spurs are already drawing up a list of potential names to take charge on a permanent basis in the summer, with the Daily Mail stating 10 managers are in the running.
It has been said that Nagelsmann, who was surprisingly sacked by Bayern Munich on Friday, is in the frame, with Levy wishing to talk to him over the vacant position.

Thomas Tuchel – his successor at the Allianz Arena – was also being eyed up, with it believed he would have taken the job had Bayern not brought him in.
Former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has also been mentioned, with many fans hoping he returns for a second spell.
talkSPORT revealed earlier this month how the 51-year-old would be open to coming back, despite his controversial axing in November 2019.
Though there are fears Tottenham could miss out on the Argentine with Real Madrid president Florentino identifying him as a possible replacement for Carlo Ancelotti.

Luis Enrique is another option for Spurs it has been claimed, with the ex-Barcelona boss available after Spain relieved him of his duties following the World Cup.
Fulham’s Marco Silva is another on Tottenham’s list the Mail have stated, along with Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi, who has starred since succeeding Graham Potter.
Though talkSPORT understands that De Zerbi will likely reject any approach from Tottenham.
Two more Premier League managers are also potential options, with Brentford’s Thomas Frank and Nottingham Forest’s Steve Cooper being considered.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s Oliver Glasner is another name in the ring after he guided the Bundesliga side to Europa League glory last season.
Meanwhile Porto boss Sergio Conceicao and Celtic’s Ange Postecoglou are the final two on Spurs’ list of targets.
