Tottenham faced League One side Ipswich Town in a behind closed doors friendly on Thursday afternoon as the two sides kept stars fresh during a week without football due to international commitments. The Lilywhites were managed by Ryan Mason and Cristian Stellini as Antonio Conte missed the clash.
The Italian coach is spending time back in Italy over the two-week break, leaving his other trusted coaches in charge of things while he is away. Conte often returns later in the first week of an international break as he spends time with his family at his Turin home in Italy.
football.london understands that that remains the case this time, though there is plenty of talk surrounding a potential decision to be made by Daniel Levy. Reports continue to claim that the chairman is in the process of a potential change in management at the club, but it remains to be seen if that will happen.
