Tottenham are braced for the departure of Antonio Conte at the end of the season, with the Italian considering his future while stalling on signing a new contract.
Conte’s current deal is set to expire on June 30 and, while the club have tried to broach the subject of an extension, the 53-year-old has refused to commit. He has insisted that the talk of his future is postponed until the end of the season, when he will consider moving back to Italy to be closer to his family.
Conte joined the club in November 2021 and enjoyed a productive first campaign, guiding Spurs to a top-four finish above Arsenal. However, this season has seen problems emerge behind the scenes in north London, with Conte’s regular comments about the lack of ambition in the transfer market causing friction with chairman Daniel Levy and the hierarchy.
