Antonio Conte has become Tottenham’s new manager. The Italian pilot replaced Nuna Espírita Santa in office and signed a contract with the London club for eighteen months …
Espírito Santo headed for the Spurs after a successful engagement in Wolverhampton Wanderers, but after a promising start to the season, he lost five of the last seven league matches, which ultimately turned out to be fatal for him. The London team will have its fourth manager from April.
After yesterday’s meeting, Tottenham found common ground with Antonio Conte, who had spent the previous two seasons at Inter Milan, with whom he won Serie A last year.
“I’m happy to be back in training at the Premier League club that has the highest ambitions,” said Conte, who had been with the Spurs during the summer break. “There was no agreement in the summer because the ending at Inter was too fresh and I felt it wasn’t the right time yet,” said.
Conte does not go into an unknown environment, between 2016 and 2018 in the Premier League he led another London club Chelsea, with which he celebrated the league title in the first season and then the triumph in the cup.
But Conte had the greatest success on the Apennine Peninsula with Juventus, who led to three Scudetts and two Super Cup victories. Before coming to the “Old Ladies” bench, he led other Italian clubs in Siena, Atalanta Bergamo and Bari, with which he advanced to the top competition.
In addition to the club scene, the 52-year-old coach also worked for the Italian national team, which he defeated without defeat at the 2016 European Championships, where he lost to Germany in the quarterfinals after penalties.
