Antonio Conte’s contract expires in June and Tottenham Hotspur have an option to extend it further by a year.
Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio discussed the manager’s future at Spurs on Sky Italia, relayed by Tutto Juve.
He claims the renewal negotiations between Tottenham and the 53-year-old have stalled. The feeling is that ‘there will be a divorce’ between the two parties at the end of this season.
The report adds it would be too early to discuss the former Inter Milan coach’s next club while Juventus continue to be in the background.
Faced with the possibility of losing Conte, Il Messaggero, relayed by LazioNews24, explain Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri has emerged as a target for Spurs. His current deal with the Biancocelesti lasts until 2025. The manager is not happy with the current situation at his club and his discontent doesn’t subside.
Lazio are sixth in the table and are trailing fourth placed AS Roma by two points. Their stance to set the Champions League qualification as the priority during the middle of the season has annoyed Sarri. He feels lonely and abandoned at Lazio.
Therefore, it’s not certain Sarri would continue at the Serie A side beyond this season. A few clubs have ‘contacted’ him and Tottenham are among them. The coming months will be decisive in having clarity over the ex-Napoli manager’s future at the Italian club.
Sarri replaced Conte at Chelsea in 2018 and if this report is to be believed, there is a possibility for him to take his compatriot’s place at Tottenham in the summer.
