Antonio Conte get ready to leave the Tottenham bench.
In England they are now sure that the Salento coach will be sacked during the break due to his international commitments. President Daniel Levy of Spurs it would be against the exemption but it is now incurable rift between the coach and the locker room after the outburst that occurred at the end of the last minute draw against Southampton.
“We are not a team. We are only eleven players who go on the field. I see selfish footballers who don't want to help themselves and don't put their hearts into it. There is no desire; to improve you have to have it. When you are not a team you cannot improve. At Tottenham they are used to this. They are not playing for something important; they don't want to play under pressure. That's easy. The history of this team has been like this for twenty years” said the harsh words from Conte in the press conference. Too strong words that made the whole Tottenham environment turn up their noses.
The crucial point remains that of finding thesettlement agreement for all the former Inter and Juve staff: Conte has a contract until June 2023 and earns 15 million pounds net per season (over 17 million euros).
Conte meanwhile is back in Italy to spend time with his family while the players remained in training have found to lead the former player Ryan Mason who should lead the team until the end of the season. For next season at Tottenham, Mauricio Pochettino is expected to return to the bench after being released from PSG.
Juve and Inter at the window
Antonio Conte shouldn't be without a bench for long. His intention is to immediately return to coaching in Serie A: Inter e Juventus but also Milan e Roma they would seem interested.
The coach from Lecce has always wanted go back to black and white. Despite some attempts to thaw, however, the 2014 divorce (and the Inter bench) left their mark on the Juventus management. Furthermore, thanks to the good moment on the field, the position of Max Allegri it is solid. The Livorno coach has a contract until 30 June 2025 and earns over 15 million gross annually. It is unlikely that Juventus will deprive him also for economic reasons, unless Allegri receives a sumptuous call from PSG.
Also 'Inter think seriously about the technician. With Simone Inzaghi the relationship never fully blossomed (despite the victories) and Conte's return to the bench would be very welcome to the management, Marotta in the first place. Inzaghi remains under observation despite the Champions League quarter-finals reached. The hypothesis of divorce remains plausible: the ups and downs in the league weigh (nine defeats). Perhaps only a victory in the Champions League could confirm him on the bench. From England, already, in recent weeks the rumors of informal contacts between Conte and Inter.
