Antonio Conte might be on a break for the World Cup but that does not stop things happening around Tottenham Hotspur.
The Spurs head coach has handed his non-World Cup players just over two weeks off and they will return to Hotspur Way on Monday November 28. The rest of players, including England captain Harry Kane, are taking part in the tournament in Qatar with Conte set to watch on keenly from Italy to begin with, hoping for success for his players and no injuries.
When the Italian returns to the UK he will hold a meeting with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy and managing director of football Fabio Paratici as they plot what needs to be improved in the second half of the Premier League and Champions League season and what changes need to be made in the January transfer window.
