Glenn Hoddle is hoping that Antonio Conte's Tottenham future can be decided one way or another after their Champions League Round of 16 tie against AC Milan. Appointed as Nuno Espirito Santo's replacement in November 2021, the Italian's future has continued to be a big talking point ever since he arrived at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Yet to commit to the club beyond the end of the current campaign, all connected with Spurs face a nervy wait over the 53-year-old's final decision. Admitting to football.london that the Champions League could have a big say on whether Conte is still Tottenham boss come August, Hoddle feels the club need to know sooner rather than later so they can get their plans in place for the 2023/24 season.
"I think it [Champions League] has got a big say," Hoddle told football.london in an exclusive interview. "It's very difficult and I'd like Antonio for Tottenham's sake to plan to come out as it's very difficult to plan as a club. Players will get on with whatever game or whatever team is picked for any weekend so that will happen, but for planning he needs to understand that the club need to know where they are going.
