A post-season meeting at Tottenham Hotspur will define what comes next in north London with Antonio Conte linked elsewhere and the likelihood of former manager Mauricio Pochettino being on the market for a new job.
Spurs' final games of last season were dogged by talk about the future of Harry Kane and now 12 months on it is Conte's future that is the subject of discussion as his team faces five crucial matches in their bid to finish fourth in the Premier League and gain entry to the Champions League next season. One report in France has claimed that the Italian has offered himself to PSG as the successor to Pochettino for next season. Those around Conte have dismissed the reports as mere speculation, as they must for a head coach who is under contract for another season at Spurs and football.london understands there is no official break clause this summer in the former Inter Milan manager's deal.
There is currently a sense of flux though about Conte's situation at Tottenham with all eyes on the remainder of the campaign before a meeting between the head coach, chairman Daniel Levy and managing director of football Fabio Paratici after the season's end. The 52-year-old has publicly stated that he has found a club further back in their development than he expected from the outside looking in, although there is little doubt that he has since dragged them up from the mess they were in when he arrived in November to a side that now has fourth place in its own hands with five games to go.
