Antonio Conte has revealed he defied doctor’s orders to return to work with Tottenham out of a sense of “responsibility” to his stuttering team.
Conte had emergency surgery to remove his gallbladder on February 1 and subsequently watched his side’s 1-0 win over Manchester City from his sickbed in Italy. He returned to work last Thursday and was back on the touchline for Saturday’s dismal 4-1 defeat by Leicester City, although visibly more subdued than usual.
