Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday announced the appointment of Antonio Conte as Head Coach, following the sack of Nuno Espirito Santo on Monday.

Conte, 52, joined the English Premier League side on a two-year contract that would end by 2023 summer, Tottenham said in a statement on Tuesday.

“We are delighted to announce the appointment of Antonio Conte as our Head Coach on a contract until the summer of 2023, with an option to extend,” the statement said.

The Italian magician, who before now had won three Italian titles with Juventus and also managed Italy national team to the world Cup in 1994, led Inter Milan to their first Serie A crown in 11 years last season.

Conte was first appointed by an EPL side Chelsea in April 2016. He won the EPL title in his first season and the FA Cup in his second.
