With his contract at Tottenham expiring at the end of the season, Antonio Conte’s future in London remains up in the air.
Spurs do have the option to extend that by a year, but there is a feeling that if they did that against the manager’s will, all hell could break loose.
After all, the Italian is well known to dictate his own future, as he has done in the past, and Gazzetta dello Sport, in a big article covering the situation, reiterate that to their readers.
They state that, as things stand, Tottenham ‘know Conte’s position well’, and are fully aware that ‘he is not the type to have an additional season imposed’ on him, especially if he feels the project isn’t up to scratch.
Gazzetta point out that the Spurs boss ‘has always worked in teams that aimed for the maximum goal’, but that currently isn’t the case..
While he has ‘begun the lay the foundations’, the finish line of winning a major trophy, like the Premier League, is ‘still far away’.
He has made that clear in interviews, that there is a lot of work to be done, and what happens between now and the end of the season, with the January transfer window potentially key to all this, could decide whether Tottenham and their part of London ‘are the right place for him’ going forward.
