Tottenham Hotspur are hopeful Antonio Conte will commit to a new extended contract as they hold talks this week in a bid to build a future under the Italian.
The 53-year-old took Spurs to a fourth place finish and a return to Champions League football last season and he has led the north London club to fourth again this campaign, three points off second-placed Manchester City at the mid-season World Cup break and in the last 16 in Europe after topping their group. Spurs hold an option to extend Conte's contract by another year beyond the original 18-month deal he signed when he joined the club in November 2021.
However, with Tottenham happy with the Italian's work at the club, chairman Daniel Levy and managing director of football Fabio Paratici are keen to tie Conte down to a longer deal with fresh terms in north London. football.london understands that there is a belief within the club that the former Inter Milan and Chelsea boss is happy at Spurs and has been re-energised after a recent holiday with his family and that there is hope he will put pen to paper on a new deal.
