Tottenham are reportedly struggling to convince Thomas Tuchel to be their new manager despite the ex-Chelsea boss being a Spurs fan.
The Lilywhites were dumped out of the Champions League on Wednesday night after a limp 0-0 draw with AC Milan saw them lose their last-16 tie 1-0 on aggregate.
Although Spurs have no immediate plans to sack Antonio Conte, he is expected to leave the club before the start of next season, when his contract is due to expire.
The ex-Borussia Dortmund boss, 49, is thought to be keen on a return to England, according to The Sun.
