Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Fabio Paratici managed to change Antonio Conte’s mind about the Tottenham job, as the Italian was prepared to wait for Manchester United to come calling.
Conte was heavily linked with the Man Utd job last week as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came under pressure following their 5-0 loss at home to Liverpool.
While United’s 3-0 win over Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has seemingly saved the Norwegian’s job for the time being but that proved to be the end of Nuno Espirito Santo at Spurs.
In a major twist of events, Conte has now replaced Nuno as Tottenham’s next head coach.
In the latest video on his YouTube channel, Romano has now explained how Spurs managed to convince the Italian to come to North London.
Romano revealed that Conte was ready to accept the United job a week ago and the 52-year-old was still prepared to wait for the Red Devils to come knocking after Saturday’s result, happy to work for Sky Italy as an analyst in the meantime.
However, the journalist claimed that Paratici called Conte after Tottenham’s loss to United in an effort to change his mind.
Despite Conte proving stubborn and the conversation being ‘complicated’, Romano asserts that the Spurs managing director of football pulled off a ‘masterclass’ by convincing the former Inter boss to take over at Spurs.
Romano then added Tottenham are now set for a new Italian era with Paratici and Conte prepared to work together to build a new Spurs.

Conte always seemed like Paratici’s number one choice and the Spurs managing director deserves a lot of credit for getting the deal over the line. Levy too deserves credit for showing ambition and backing Paratici’s judgement despite the expenses involved in hiring a winner like Conte.
