Antonio Conte has opened the door to leaving Tottenham and returning to Italian football by reiterating that the nation “is in my heart”.
Spurs went down 1-0 in the first leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie against Milan, with former Manchester City youngster Brahim Diaz heading the only goal from close range just seven minutes in.
The tie remains finely poised with Spurs now looking ahead to the return leg in North London where a win by two goals or more would book their place in the last eight of the competition. However, it was an anaemic performance in northern Italy with Conte’s side firmly second best.
