Antonio Conte may quit Tottenham after news in the last 24 hours – pundit
Gabby Agbonlahor has suggested Antonio Conte will quit Tottenham in the summer if he is not given the significant funds to rebuild the squad in the summer.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the ex-Aston Villa and England attacker claimed Conte is doing the best he can and the recent downturn in form is down solely to the players.
The Spurs boss told Sky Italia, as relayed by BBC Sport yesterday (17 February), his squad was weakened in the January window.
Tanguy Ndombele, Giovanni Lo Celso and Bryan Gil left on loan while Dele Alli joined Everton on a permanent deal.
They brought in Juventus duo Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur on deadline day .
“Sometimes managers can only do a certain amount,” Agbonlahor told Football Insider correspondent Connor Whitley.
“At some point, the players have to take the blame. It’s similar at Manchester United, the players at Spurs and Manchester United are so inconsistent, they deserve the blame, not the manager.
“Conte is doing the best he can with the players available. But it’s typical Spurs with the players, they will bottle it again and miss out on the top four.
“I don’t think he will quit now. He’ll see it through to the summer and see what funds he has available to strengthen the squad.
“He’ll probably want to get rid of a few players and bring some in so he can give it a real good go next season.
“I don’t think he would have taken this job just to walk away so easily. He will know walking away is not a good sign, it doesn’t look good on your record.”
