Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has been in the rumor mill these past few weeks linking him to Paris Saint-Germain, who will likely fire Mauricio Pochettino after the season.
Furthermore, the Italian tactician has reportedly made a list of demands upon taking the role in the French capital. However, reports from Italy suggest that those close to Conte are calling fake news on these reports.
According to Gazzetta Dello Sport, those close to the Spurs boss called out some of the reporting saying that the list of demands is hysterical, especially the economic, where Conte wants to be one of the highest-paid managers in the world.
Those close to Conte also stated that he has nothing but respect for PSG’s sporting director Leonardo and hasn’t worked alongside Gianluca Petrachi, so that’s another demand they’re calling out in these recent reports.
Conte has another year left on his deal with Spurs after coming aboard in November. The 52-year-old also finds himself in the middle of a top-four battle, and should Tottenham come away finishing in fourth; then it would be hard to see him exit this summer.
Thats good we dont want upheaval in the Summer. If he goes the next Summer that is fair enough that is what his contract is for.
You might be right about PSG,but the rumour is he would want to root out all the social media nonsense (good luck with that).I suspect a lot of this is mischief making by his agent.
An outside bet might be Bayern as Nagelsmann has been heavily criticised for the way he has the team playing.However he surely won’t be short of offers and his reputation will be intact.
If Conte doesn’t leave this summer he’ll leave the summer after anyway for a better job where he is backed. I doubt he’d go to the ego riddled PSG anyway, but to a proper European giant.
Top 4 is unlikely so Conte might well consider his options this summer. Why would a class manager want to work for Steptoe?
