Tottenham have reportedly approached Eintracht Frankfurt manager Oliver Glasner to replace under-fire manager Antonio Conte.
The 53-year-old Italian is under pressure in North London following poor results and unfashionable public criticism of his club and players.

Tottenham’s chances of finishing in the top four took a big hit last weekend as they conceded three late goals to blow a two-goal lead in a 3-3 draw with Southampton. After the game, Conte accused his team of lacking professionalism in a 10-minute rant that also aimed at the club’s culture over the last 20 years.
His outburst and other related issues have led to speculations that he wants Tottenham to relieve him of his duties. It has now been reported that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy could finally sack Conte this week.
If Conte departs, Frankfurt boss Glasner has been eyed as a perfect replacement. According to German publication Bild, the 48-year-old, whose contract expires in 2024, has been contacted by Tottenham.
The Austrian boss guided Frankfurt to an impressive Europa League win last season. However, they could not beat Serie A leaders Napoli in the last 16 this year.
