Tottenham have ‘no hope’ of keeping Antonio Conte after latest – pundit
Antonio Conte can do “whatever he wants” when deciding his Tottenham future this summer.
That’s according to former West Ham hitman Frank McAvennie, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, who claims the Italian will walk away from the club in the summer.
The Times’ Gary Jacob reported on Monday (24 April), Conte, 52, is interested in replacing Mauricio Pochettino at PSG.
That report claims the former Spurs boss is set to be sacked by the French club despite clinching the Ligue 1 title last weekend.
While Conte shot down links to PSG on Friday (29 April), labelling them “fake news”, (football.london) he again refused to commit his future to Spurs.
McAvennie is expecting the former Chelsea boss to leave.
“I can’t see him staying,” McAvennie told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“They need to get into the top-four but even if they do that there will be other interested clubs.
“Conte doesn’t want to just finish fourth, he wants to manage a team that will win trophies.
“How long is it going to be until this side is ready to win trophies? It won’t be next season.
“Conte will also want to spend a lot of money and I don’t think he will get it.
“He’s so good he can do whatever he wants so it’s up to him, I think he will go. I think there is no hope of keeping him.”
Conte took over at Tottenham from Nuno Espirito Santo at the beginning of November 2021.
they were ninth in the table at the time but are now in with a chance of finishing in the top four.
