According to Conte, he does not expect to lose his job before the end of the season, although there is much speculation about who will succeed him at the London team. It is important to know that Conte’s contract will expire at the end of this season. Meanwhile, Spurs seem to have no intention of renewing with the Italian military leader.
A bad streak in March saw Tottenham out in both the FA Cup and Champions League. That has sparked false rumors about Conte’s future. “You asked me about my future and I told you that you don’t know what will happen, because maybe the club will sack me,” Conte told reporters, “But I repeat, I don’t. I think the club is thinking about this. Tottenham see what we are doing for this club every day. That’s my future answer. I don’t think there’s a club that can tell the coach you’re going to stay here until the end of the season. You know, football is really weird.” It is not superfluous to recall that Tottenham are securing a place in the top four in the Premier League and could even finish third this weekend if they beat Southampton.
Conte’s arrival in the middle of last season helped propel Spurs to fourth place. “I think in every season finishing in the top four means you’ve had a good season. You can look at the table and you can see there are important teams, teams in the past that have won trophies, important trophies and now they are struggling for a place in the Champions League. I think the Top 4 race will be really difficult this season,” emphasized the Italian teacher.
Conte is second in the Premier League in terms of job loss
According to bookmaker William Hill, coach David Moyes (West Ham) is at the top of the list of leaders in the Premier League this season at risk of being fired, with odds of 6/4 (put 4 to 6). Second is Conte, with a ratio of 2/1 and third is Leicester’s Brendan Rodgers (11/2).
