It seems Antonio Conte will not be on the Tottenham bench next year as his contract with the Premier League side is up at the end of the season and the relationship appears to be at an all-time low.
After being knocked out of the Champions League by AC Milan on Wednesday night, Conte was very pessimistic about his future, saying: “My contract expires in June. We will see – they might sack me even before the end of the season, who knows, maybe they are disappointed.”
Conte added: “This is not the right day to speak about my future. I have a contract with Tottenham and Tottenham know very well my thoughts. At the end of the season we meet and then make a decision.”
That then begs the question; where could he head when his time at Tottenham comes to an end?
In recent weeks, Conte has been quite heavily linked with a return to his former club, Inter. The Nerazzurri haven’t really progressed this season under Simone Inzaghi and there is a feeling the team are stagnating under his management.
Conte delivered the Scudetto for Inter in the 2020/21 season but then departed when it became clear the Chinese owners would try to raise money in the transfer market rather than improve the squad.
The Times recently reported Inter have already contacted Conte for informal talks on his return to the club. The financial situation at the club is no better than when he left, though.
There’s a theme here. Inter are Conte’s most recent flame in Italy, but Juventus have also been linked. Massimiliano Allegri has been under fire for large parts of this season although there have also been spells where he has impressed.
There is a huge amount of uncertainty around Juventus given the 15-point deduction they suffered earlier this season and possible further punishments that may come their way.
They are also likely to be without Champions League football next season, although that may not be a bad thing for Conte based on his record.
