The exciting new era of Antonio Conte at Tottenham will reportedly prove to be the death knell for five big-name Spurs stars, claims a report.
The Italian tactitan is back in the Premier League, after taking the not-long vacant Tottenham post. He returns to London, having previously led Chelsea to Premier League and FA Cup glory. And he faces the stiff task of reviving a Spurs side that has “been in decline since 2019”.
His appointment at Spurs was confirmed on Tuesday; Conte explaining how Daniel Levy’s passion had swayed him.
Embarking on an immediate change of style will be top of his to-do list at Spurs. The Italian manager is renowned for playing an attack-minded 3-4-3 formation – and that will be far more pleasing on the eye than Nuno Espirito Santo’s more pragmatic approach.
Any changes though won’t be implemented overnight. Indeed, it may well take a couple of transfer windows for Conte to make his mark on the squad.
