Antonio Conte has now publicly confirmed his desire to remain at Tottenham Hotspur next season but only if his ambition is matched.
The Italian has swerved questions about next season in recent weeks, maintaining that he is not looking past the end of this campaign.
Many Tottenham fans and pundits have predicted that the 52-year-old, who has previously stated that the project at the north London club requires more time than he expected to turn them into challengers, will decide to leave in the summer.
