Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly included Roberto Mancini and Graham Potter as potential managerial targets should current boss Antonio Conte leave the club this summer.
Conte has been linked with the managerial position at Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season, with former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino said to be facing the axe from the Ligue 1 club.
The Italian moved to dismiss those reports of a move to Paris on Friday however, insisting that he was focused on the final few games of the current Premier League campaign, with Spurs chasing a top-four finish.
However, with the 52-year-old entering the final year of his contract this summer, and with it unclear whether he will be willing to stay in North London should they fail to qualify for the Champions League, the Spurs hierarchy are reportedly drawing up a list of potential replacements.
Italy national team boss Mancini, and Brighton & Hove Albion's Potter are said to be of interest, according to The Telegraph.
Mancini recently insisted that he will remain in charge of his country despite a failure to qualify for this year's World Cup, but the report outlines how the 57-year-old could be tempted by a return to the Premier League, after leaving Manchester City in 2013.
Meanwhile, Potter turned down the opportunity to take over at Spurs last summer, with Nuno Espirito Santo instead taking charge following a lengthy appointment process.
