Tottenham fans react as Antonio Conte's announcement is hilariously deleted after mistake

Tottenham have finally confirmed Antonio Conte as their new manager, but only after hilariously going too early with their announcement and subsequently deleting the post.

With fans anticipating the enticing news of the new appointment, pictures of Conte holding a Tottenham shirt began to circulate around social media, after the club announced the news via 'Twitter for Advertisers', with the post getting just 387 likes in an hour due to the mistake.

To add insult to injury, the post was headed: 'Bienvenido a Tottenham Hotspur, Antonio Conte', a caption written in Spanish, not their new manager's native language of Italian.
