Antonio Conte is expected to sign a new contract extension with Tottenham Hotspur, according to journalist Alasdair Gold.
As things currently stand, Conte’s current contract will expire in June 2023 if he does not reach an agreement with Daniel Levy.
Many Spurs fans will be concerned, especially considering the job he has done so far with Tottenham, which includes leading the club to a top-four finish last season.
However, in what will likely come as welcoming news to many fans, Gold has stated that he would be surprised if Conte fails to reach an agreement on a contract extension with the club in the near future.
While speaking on his YouTube channel, he said:
“Obviously, we know there’s the option for both him and Spurs to agree to continue, to chuck another year on his contract.
“Which I’d be stunned if that doesn’t happen because I think Spurs will want it at this stage. Also to kind of stop any questions as this season goes on about him. But also for Conte, it’s a little bit more financial security.”
Conte is a serial winner, having consistently won trophies during his managerial career, including the FA Cup and the Premier League with Chelsea in England.
Keeping that in mind, it would certainly make sense for Spurs to try to keep him for a little longer, especially given their trophy drought over the last 14 years or so.
