Tottenham Hotspur cannot shake Antonio Conte fear as boss becomes favourite to return to former club Juventus

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte

Antonio Conte could become the next manager of Juventus if he is willing to end his Tottenham Hotspur spell abruptly, it has been claimed.

Conte was initially reluctant to take the Tottenham Hotspur managerial role when offered it in the summer. Instead, he waited after his departure from Inter Milan, forcing the north London outfit to revert their attention to Nuno Espirito Santo.

But Nuno struggled in the job, which he lost after a matter of months. In response, Tottenham Hotspur tried their luck with Conte again – and this time got their man.

It hasn’t been plain sailing under the demanding Italian coach up to this point. There were fears about his opinion of their January transfer activity, for example.

On the record, though, Conte has continued to pledge his allegiance to Tottenham, who have him under contract for another season after this one.

That could be promising for the club, since he has lifted them into contention for a top-four finish. With six games of their season to go, they have a three-point cushion in the final Champions League place.

If they can act appropriately in the summer transfer window, Conte could oversee an exciting second season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

But behind the scenes, there have been further rumours that he could end his association with the club still. Paris Saint-Germain have been mentioned as one potential threat if they dismiss Mauricio Pochettino.

Conte to replace his own replacement?

However, Sport Mediaset have now reported that someone else who could take that potential vacancy is Massimiliano Allegri.

His return to Juventus has not gone as well as his first spell, when he succeeded Conte. What’s more, the chance that Andrea Agnelli steps down as president could deprive him of his key supporter in the club.

In that case, the chances of him leaving would increase – and Allegri could have an interest in the PSG job.

Juventus would have to weigh up carefully who Allegri’s successor should be….
