Tottenham hint at Antonio Conte sack decision amid Mauricio Pochettino return links

Tottenham's loss to AC Milan over two legs in the Champions League round-of-16 has fuelled further speculation surrounding Antonio Conte's future in north London. The Italian side progressed at Spurs' expense after their 1-0 win at the San Siro was followed up by a lacklustre goalless draw in north London.

The full-time whistle was met by a chorus of boos from the home faithful, and was swiftly followed up by sections chanting Mauricio Pochettino's name. The former Spurs boss was in fact the last man to win a Champions League knockout match for the club, famously doing so against Ajax in the 2019 semi-finals.

Speaking about his future after the match, Conte said: “This is not right day to speak about future but my future, I have a contract with Tottenham and then Tottenham know very well which is my thoughts and at the end of season we will meet and then we'll make a decision.” However, the club appear to have made a decision regarding his short-term future.
