He was a strong contender to take the Spurs job four months ago, but he felt it was too soon after the termination of his Inter connection. However, the time has come now.”I am extremely happy to return to coaching, and to do so at a Premier League club that has the ambition to be a protagonist again. I can’t wait to start working to convey to the team and the fans the passion, mentality and determination that have always distinguished me, as a player and as a coach. Last summer our union did not happen because the end of my relationship with Inter was still too recent and emotionally too involved with the end of the season but the determination of Daniel Levy had already hit the mark. Now that the opportunity has returned, I have chosen to take it with great conviction.”Antonio Conte wins wherever he goes 🏆 pic.twitter.com/mUXZ2A6KIr— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) November 2, 2021 Spurs are currently ninth in the Premier League table. Let’s see if Conte will work his magic yet again.
