Christian Eriksen has liked an Instagram post from the official Tottenham account which confirmed the appointment of Antonio Conte as the club’s new manager.
The former Chelsea boss was hired as Tottenham’s new face in the dugout after the sacking of Nuno Espirito Santo following Saturday’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester United.
Conte, 52, has signed an 18-month contract with the club, but has a clause to extend his deal for a further year.
Inter Milan midfielder and former Spurs man, Eriksen reacted to the announcement on Tuesday, by liking one of the confirming posts on the club’s official Instagram feed.
The Dane spent a season-and-a-half working with Conte at Inter after joining the Italian side in January last year – part-way through the 2019/20 campaign.
The pair enjoyed a successful campaign last season despite a difficult start for Eriksen, as Inter romped home to the Serie A title and finished 12 points clear of rivals and runners-up AC Milan.
However, Conte did not intend on building on his work at Inter, and departed the club in the summer amid financial uncertainties.

This signals a fresh start for Spurs, who did not come close to securing the right fit with Nuno. Conte and Eriksen had a pretty short but positive spell at Inter and hopefully the Italian can translate his wealth of experience at Spurs.
