18 month deal? Pretty shit
I guess this contract length reflects concerns on both sides 1) Spurs - Absolutely no point giving him longer if he walks off halfway through a contract as he's done in all of his previous jobs. 2) Conte - Absolutely no point signing longer if funds for signings don't materialise

Reports say that contract has a massive salary + bonuses. It also has options for another year.

Only risk for Spurs would be if Conte is approached by Real Madrid/Man City/PSG and he walks away to them, the comp we would receive would be low and not prohibitive for one of those Clubs to payout.

EDIT: Also it's not uncommon for managers that arrive midway through the season to be given short contracts eg Tuchel at Chavs was an 18mnth contract.

LUNCHTIME???

Lazy git wants a lie-in already??

I thought he'd have signed at midnight, and had all the players in at 6am for their first of 3 training sessions today!
Then three courses with wine, coffee and liqueurs, a decent siesta, coffee and a pastry when you get up...

The lads can chill till 5 pm+, no hurry

He (Conte) is now set to return to management under former Juventus chief Fabio Paratici at Tottenham, and SportMediaSet insists that Vlahovic would be made the priority signing should Conte agree to take up the role.

Just some info. In contes 2 seasons at chelsea he spent a total 348M

Morata: 58M
Bakayoko: 40M
Drinkwater: 35M
Batshuayi: 35M
Kante: 32M
Luiz: 31M
Rudiger: 29M
Zappacosta: 23M
Alonso: 21M
Emerson:18M
Giroud: 15M
Barkley: 15M

Apart from Kante and Alonso, the rest were flops.
Not the players he wanted : Conte wanted Lukaku & Van Dijk at Chelsea and ‘lost momentum’ when deals weren't done | Goal.com

He was eyeing up alot higher quality, which as Champions of England you would think they would have went and got. Chelsea always become complacent in the transfer market after success.

Rudiger, Luiz and Giroud were not flops.
 
For too long, too many Tottenham Hotspur players have had an excuse. Things had become stale under Mauricio Pochettino. Jose Mourinho was past his best. Nuno Espirito Santo was never good enough.

Rightly or wrongly, these were all reasons the club’s underperformers could point to as soon as results dipped or things started to get tough over the past two years or so.

But, now, with Antonio Conte coming in to replace Nuno, the excuses have been stripped away and if the players fail again then, this time, there can be no debate: it will be on them.

There are no doubts over his relevance or his ability to get his teams over the line and there can certainly be no questioning Conte’s pedigree.

He’s made the best even better and won everywhere he’s been.

Just ask Romelu Lukaku, who became a world-class striker under Conte; or Cesc Fabregas, who admitted the Italian took his game to a place he did not believe it could go; or Leonardo Bonucci, who credits Conte with changing the path of his career. This list goes on.

And if any of the Tottenham players are in any doubt about how things will be under Conte, they need only refer to an interview he did with Thierry Henry, who was a team-mate of the former midfielder at Juventus.

“I always talk about education and respect,” said Conte. “I demand this. I give this. But I demand this. And if someone hasn’t a good attitude in the training session or good behaviour in different circumstances, I prefer to kill him.”
