Tottenham idol fears Antonio Conte U-turn after update via Sky
Paul Robinson fears Antonio Conte could U-turn on his Tottenham future given his “volatile character.”
However, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former White Hart Lane number one said the 53-year-old’s most recent comments sounded “very promising.”
Conte’s contract in north London is set to expire at the end of the season.
Sources told Football Insider last month (8 October) that Spurs are willing to make Conte the best paid manager in the Premier League.
As quoted by Sky Sports (11 November), the Italian manager has since said his dream is to stay at the club for many years.
When asked by Football Insider for his thoughts on Conte’s future, Robinson said: “It sounds very promising for Spurs.
“The type of person and the type of character Conte is, that could change quickly.
“It would be great to get him signed up to a new long-term deal, it would give the club peace of mind. I am sure that the players are desperate for him to stay.
“But Conte could have a change of heart tomorrow or next week and say he has had enough. He is a volatile character.
“I do not suspect he will sign a really long-term deal. It might be a one or two-year deal. Something like that.
“There’s no doubt in my mind right now that he is the right man for Spurs though. The club is moving in the right direction.”
