Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly working to bring Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici to the club ahead of the new season.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is yet to appoint a permanent successor to Jose Mourinho in North London, with the club missing out on the likes of Julian Nagelsmann, Brendan Rodgers and Erik ten Hag in their manager search.
Despite leading Inter Milan to their first Serie A title in 11 years, Conte has stepped down from his Nerazzurri post, and the former Chelsea boss has unsurprisingly been linked with the vacant role at Tottenham.
According to Italian journalist Gianluigi Longari, Spurs hope to convince Conte to return to the English capital at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, while Paratici - who recently left his role as Juventus' sporting director - is also being eyed up.
Conte and Paratici are supposedly keen to reunite with one another after working together at Juve for three years between 2011 and 2014, and the former is thought to be open to a return to a Premier League dugout.
However, Real Madrid are also rumoured to be in the race for Conte's services after Zinedine Zidane resigned from his post for a second time.
