[스포티비뉴스=이민재 기자] Will manager Antonio Conte (53) leave Tottenham?
Rumors have been circulating lately that Conte and Tottenham might part ways. Rumors of a disagreement with Chairman Daniel Levy arose, and even the possibility that he might resign if there was no satisfactory power reinforcement in the winter transfer market was raised.
Conte’s contract ends at the end of this season. However, there is no talk of contract renewal yet. Rather, there are only rumors of a breakup.
According to the British media ‘Mirror’ on the 24th (Korean time), Manchester United legend Gary Neville gave a tip to Conte. Coach Conte, who is receiving full support, emphasized the need to lead the team for the long term.
Neville told British media ‘Sky Sports’, “There are rumors that Conte is dissatisfied with the club and will not sign a new contract. I feel very lucky to have Conte at Tottenham. (UEFA) put it up in the Champions League. They’re doing what they want. There’s not much difference in points from the Champions League right now.”
“From Conte’s point of view, where is a better club than Tottenham right now?”
“In the two transfer windows, he signed a value of £190m. This figure does not include Dejan Kulusevski, who is still on loan. £200m (approximately 305.2 billion won). Tottenham did not support him. It’s a wrong idea,” he said.
Tottenham and manager Conte’s long-term partnership will lead to success. “Coach Conte and Tottenham have to work hand in hand to sign a contract. They seem to be aimlessly wandering the road as if they are not a pair right now,” said Neville.
Meanwhile, coach Conte said in an interview with ‘Sky Sports’ following the 2022-23 season English Premier League round 21 away game at Fulham, “I am proud to be Tottenham manager. It is clear. I will fight from the beginning of the season to the end.”
