Tottenham are reportedly preparing to open new contract talks with Antonio Conte, whose contract expires at the end of the season.
Former Chelsea and Italy manager Conte took over in November 2021 after the dismissal of Nuno Espirito Santo. After helping Spurs clinch a Champions League berth on the final day of the 2021-22 season, he has led them into the last 16 of the competition where they will take on AC Milan.
The 53-year-old has been critical of certain elements of the club structure during his 13 months in charge, particularly on the transfer front. As recently in October, he suggested Spurs need a bigger squad to compete at the top of the Premier League, with a packed fixture schedule on the way when his team return to action at the end of the calendar year.
