Laura Woods sends Chelsea Twitter into meltdown as Arsenal fan reveals her Antonio Conte replacement at Tottenham
ARSENAL fan and talkSPORT host Laura Woods sent Chelsea Twitter into meltdown after revealing her ideal Antonio Conte replacement at Tottenham.
Conte’s deal at Spurs expires in the summer and there is uncertainty over the Italian’s long-term future in North London.
Spurs are deep in a top-four battle and are trailing in their Champions League round of 16 tie with AC Milan.
Former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, who is still widely loved among Spurs fans, has been linked with a return.
However, another top drawer manager available is Champions League winner Thomas Tuchel, who was sacked by Chelsea earlier this season and replaced with Graham Potter.
And talkSPORT host Woods, an Arsenal fan, says Tuchel would be a “great fit” at Tottenham, which got under the skin of Blues fans.
Woods said on talkSPORT: “I just don’t know whether it’s ever good to go back.
“Of course we can look at the ones where they did go back and it did go well – Mourinho going back to Chelsea and that sort of stuff – but I don’t know with Mauricio Pochettino whether it would be the best move for him.
“I actually think Thomas Tuchel would be a great shout. Managers who come back into the league and who have something to prove.
“Seriously, though, I just think with Thomas Tuchel, in the small space of time that he came into Chelsea and arranged that team – they’d already got top four from Frank Lampard so they had a lot of young talent, he made a few changes and won the Champions League.

“I don’t know, I just think that kind of personality that he has, to go into a team like Spurs, who just look like they are devoid of enjoyment at the moment and lacking something.
“Go get the best out of Son, go and put a rocket up them. I honestly think that would be a great fit.
“I could be wrong, but I love Thomas Tuchel, I think he’s amazing.”
One far from pleased Blues fan responded, saying: “Tuchel will never ever join a club without ambition. Know this and know peace.”
Another tweeted: “If Conte and Mourinho didn’t win anything with Spurs – just know Spurs can’t be helped!”
