Antonio Conte is a step closer towards leaving Tottenham once his contract expires at the end of the season. While Spurs hold the option to extend the Italian's stay in north London by a further year, it appears increasingly likely that the two parties go their separate ways.
It's difficult to see a future in which Conte is the head coach of the Lilywhites next season, football.london understands. With the current mood around the club, it's just as unlikely that any existing relationship between the 53-year-old and the Tottenham higher-ups will last beyond the end of this term.
Following the defeat to AC Milan in the Champions League, Conte claimed on Italian TV that he could be sacked. The Spurs boss said: "My contract expires in June. We will see - they might sack me even before the end of the season, who knows, maybe they are disappointed."
