And Antonio Conte says that he is almost tied to Tottenham with an umbilical cord and that there is no chance for him to move from London, although in the previous days the foreign media created a story that he is the first candidate to replace Mauricio Pochettino on the Paris Saint-Germain bench.To make it even more interesting, a salary of over 30 million USD was mentioned, which would make the Italian the highest-paid coach in the world, and allegedly one of the requirements is to have a trusted person in charge of controlling the so-called “Instagram footballers”.Swap of the century or total madness: Conte and Poch to change seats?Conte did not wait long to burst the bubble of all those speculation-hunters and pointed out that everything that was written and said has nothing to do with reality – it bothers him when people let their imagination run wild.”It is good that the club appreciates my work. The truth is that I don’t like it when people try to make up news, just to talk about it, to create problems. That is not right at all, nor is it fair to both clubs, and even less to my players. “All because we are really focused on the remaining five games in order to win a place in the Champions League,” Conte points out.This is not the first time he has faced rumors.”This situation always makes me laugh, but I think that the people who made this public should show respect to those who are in this business.

We have a great chance to secure a place in the Champions League. We are struggling to reach a goal that no one could have imagined at the beginning of the season.
