Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We can't deny that this is an issue. Everyone has a private home and family life - even world class football managers. I guess a long-term contract with us would necessitate moving his family over here. Whether or not he and his family are willing to do that is a separate issue from whether or not we can match his ambition.
Yup.

Remember how utterly depressed Jose looked for most of his United stint? He spent that one living in a hotel because his family refused to move from London to Manchester since his kids were still in school. So he spent most of his time there just alone in a hotel room.

Or Poch right now at PSG. His wife still lives in London and Poch and his crew have been staying in a hotel room in Paris.
 
IMO, it doesn't matter.
He's paid well to be here for another season and seems happy to he here.
It can wait until the window pans out. If we sign him up to 3 years now and it all goes to shit this summer, it'll cost us over £50m to sack him when he downs tools and plays Winks ever game
The 2 or 3 year contract with Conte is a detail. He is now an established technician. He puts pressure on his club. Either he sees the "environment" that yields 110% (purchases, commitment, etc., or he goes away even if he loses money. This is a great stimulus for an ambitious club. In my opinion his plan is to "resume" Manchester City and Liverpool , he wants their ass. 😂😂

Or he takes a more modern approach and works from Italy more regularly…. Obv more difficult when you are playing twice a week but no reason he couldn’t go home for two nights if we are only playing once
