‘The club knows very well’ – Conte on his future and his relationship with Levy

Antonio Conte revealed in his post-match press conference following Tottenham’s elimination from the Champions League that he has made it clear to Daniel Levy and Fabio Paratici that the Lilywhites are not ready to win major trophies.

Even before Wednesday’s result, there were already reports suggesting that the Italian is not likely to be in charge beyond the end of the season (Daily Mail).

In fact, The Athletic even revealed on Tuesday that the Tottenham players expect the 53-year-old to leave in the summer and that many of them would not be sad to see him go as they have grown tired of his intensity and the way he sets the team up.

Any small chance that remained of the project being turned around has seemingly withered away with Tottenham’s elimination from the Champions League.

Speaking after the game, Conte told Amazon Prime (via Fabrizio Romano) that Spurs might decide to sack him before his contract runs out in the summer.

When asked about his future in the post-match press conference, Conte responded (via Football.London): “This is not right day to speak about future but my future, I have a contract with Tottenham and then Tottenham know very well which is my thoughts and at the end of the season, we will meet and then we’ll make a decision.”

The Spurs head coach was then asked if he has spoken to Levy, to which he responded: “No, but I think the situation is really clear. It’s one year and three months since I’ve been the coach of Tottenham. I always say the same things.

“We need time and patience because in this moment we don’t have a solid foundation to be competitive to fight to win in my opinion.

“We try to work, to understand which are the right players to continue to create a solid foundation and the transfer market to try to find the right solution to improve the team but at the moment the club knows very well which is my thoughts and I have a great relationship with my chairman, with Fabio Paratici but it doesn’t mean that I don’t tell them which is my vision you understand?

“Then we will see. Now we have to finish the season. I have a contract until June. I am happy to work in Tottenham but at the end will make a decision okay, but the club knows very well which is my vision, which are my thoughts about the situation.”

Spurs Web Opinion

I personally do not see the point in the club waiting until the end of the season to part ways with Conte.

The players will know that the Italian does not have a future at the club, which means that not all of them will want to play for him. I believe making a change now would give us a better chance of finishing in the top four.
