Antonio Conte has admitted that he "underestimated" the recent procedure to remove his gallbladder. On Thursday morning it was confirmed by Tottenham that the head coach would remain at his family home in Italy to fully recover from the operation.
Only returning to Hotspur Way last Thursday after having the operation in his homeland a week earlier, Conte was in the dugout for the games against Leicester City and AC Milan over the past week. Following a routine post-operation check in Italy on Wednesday, Conte will now remain in Italy for the time being with Cristian Stellini taking on first-team duties once again.
Following the news that Conte will now spend more time to rest and recuperate after the surgery, he provided an update to fans on his Instagram Stories and claimed that his body has suffered due to his impatience.
