‘Better than I found it’ – Conte makes commitment ‘guarantee’ to Spurs fans
Antonio Conte has reiterated that he is happy at Tottenham despite the club’s turbulent spell of recent form.
Spurs fell to defeat at Burnley earlier this week after they appeared to have turned a corner with last week’s spirited display in the scalp win over Manchester City.
Conte cut a frustrated figure after the encounter at Turf Moor, in which he seemed to raise doubts over his Spurs future and questioned whether he was the right man to lead the club forward (Daily Mail).
The Italian coach later took a reserved approach and clarified his comments by explaining he was indeed happy with his tenure so far, despite Spurs currently sitting outside the Premier League top four (Daily Mail).
He has now reiterated that he is still committed to the cause in North London and hopes he will be able to leave Spurs in a better state than when he arrived.
Before the Leeds win, Conte said (Football.London): “I think that in this moment I guarantee the best commitment that I can give to this club. I have another year of contract with this club but you know very well that football is very strange.
“You can have three, four years of contract and the club can sack you. Sometimes someone decides to go away. Football is very strange. I think now that the most important thing is that I am enjoying my time with this club.
“I think that we are working very well. I think that we are starting to build something important for the club. This is the most important thing.
“I always say, when I arrive in one place and I find a place in a way, when I have to go away from this club, I have to leave this club much better than I found it. I have done this with every club I have worked at.
“For sure, it will be the same for this club. If you ask me in four months, one year, two years, three years. Now it is very difficult to answer this question, but for sure, I am working to improve the club in every aspect.”
Spurs Web Opinion
It hasn’t been the easiest of times for Tottenham or Conte and his outburst after Burnley gave a true indication of how much work he needs to do. Having been about four months in charge, it would be strange to see him pack it in already and he has been pretty open about wanting to work hard to improve.
