What a turnaround it has been for Tottenham, since Antonio Conte's arrival last November. The Italian has helped individual players go from strength to strength and improved the team overall, both on and off the pitch.
Conte helped his Spurs side to a fourth place finish in the 20221/22 campaign, meaning a return to Champions League football for the upcoming season. There were some up and down results after the 52-year-old's arrival, but pre-season has shown that there is no messing about.
On the pitch, the Italian has been giving a large number of his squad game time, including players returning from loans and new arrivals. Conte has been working his players hard in training and they have won two and drawn one of their three pre-season friendlies so far, with one more to go on Saturday, against Roma.
