Tottenham have been urged to poach Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany from Championship leaders Burnley after reportedly deciding to sack Antonio Conte.

Conte turned on Spurs owner Daniel Levy and his Tottenham players after Saturday’s 3-3 draw with Southampton.

In an extraordinary press conference, the Italian accused his players of being ‘selfish’ and said the ‘situation will not change’ even if he is replaced.

Tottenham are currently fourth in the Premier League – 20 points behind north London rivals Arsenal – but are set to go yet another season without any silverware after their Champions League and FA Cup exits earlier in the month.

Since Daniel Levy took over the club in 2001, Tottenham have won one trophy – the League Cup in 2008.

Former Inter Milan, Chelsea, Juventus and Italy boss Conte became Levy’s 11th manager when he joined Tottenham in 2021.

The Daily Telegraph say Spurs are ready to part ways with Conte this week and believe the situation is ‘irretrievable’ following his recent outburst.

Ryan Mason is expected to be placed in temporary charge of the side until the end of the season but former Ireland and Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino believes Tottenham should try to bring Kompany to north London.

Kompany, who won four Premier League titles at Manchester City, is on the verge of promotion to the English top-flight with runaway Championship leaders Burnley.

‘In the past Tottenham have just made an obvious choice, picking managers with the best CVs, but it’s time for them to be brave, especially as Harry Kane may well depart, which would create a completely new dynamic at the club,’ Cascarino told The Times.

‘I think Vincent Kompany would be an excellent appointment after his miraculous feats at Burnley this season. He’s had little money but transformed them, adopting a new playing style.’
