Tottenham are keen to hire sacked Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann immediately.

Spurs are expected to soon dismiss Antonio Conte.

Bayern Munich's shock sacking of Nagelsmann and subsequent hiring of Thomas Tuchel in the week means Spurs lost out on one key target but gained a new one.

The London Evening Standard says Tuchel was of interest to Spurs but no talks had taken place with Antonio Conte's expected sacking still to be finalised. But Bayern acted quickly to avoid missing out on their preferred target.

Nagelsmann was a target for Spurs when Jose Mourinho was sacked two years ago, but he soon agreed to join Bayern from RB Leipzig. Should Spurs again fail to appoint him, Ryan Mason remains the man most likely to take up the reigns, at least temporarily.
