“So it might stay at Spurs but I think if PSG can’t get Zidane and sack Pochettino, he would certainly be on the shortlist.” Laurens was then pressed further over his comment that Conte had proposed a plan to PSG.
And he claimed the former Chelsea head coach will have already told PSG the staff he would like to work alongside. Laurens added: “Well certainly I believe from what I’ve been told that in the informal talks – because they’re very informal talks and it’s not Conte directly of course, it’s people around him – that there’s already been talks about ‘if you’re looking for a manager, we would like to be there, we would like to do this, we would like to do that’.
“There are different sporting directors, and not just Fabio Paratici, that Conte has worked with before that could also come with him. What about his technical staff? The one that he has at Spurs right now. So all of that, of course, has been mentioned.”
