Antonio Conte heard everything he wanted to hear in a recent meeting with Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy.
This is according to Alasdair Gold, who was speaking on his latest YouTube video following their recent win on the weekend in Yorkshire.
Do you expect Levy to back Conte?
Yes
No
The Italian has had a turbulent week at Spurs having seen his side lose against relegation-battlers Burnley and then emphatically beat the struggling Leeds United.
After the defeat against Burnley, Conte left many questioning his future with Spurs after unleashing his frustrations in the post-game press conference.
However, Gold believes that having met with Levy during the week, the Italian’s frustrations have been eased after hearing what the chairman had to say.
Gold said: “It’s an interesting one because Conte’s had a chat with Levy this week after the Burnley defeat. And it clearly has gone very well because Conte’s heard whatever he wanted to hear.
“He talks glowingly of Daniel Levy. All the managers do seem to like Daniel Levy; for someone that is obviously quite criticised by Spurs fans, the managers all seem to quite like him.
“Obviously, that’s not enough to build a successful football club. But you’ll notice now that he’s now gone from calling him the chairman to Daniel.”
TIF Thoughts on Conte’s frustrations…
It was understandable to see Conte so frustrated on Wednesday night having lost to a Burnley side who are fighting at the bottom end of the table for their Premier League survival.
Just a matter of days prior, the Lilywhites had beat Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium which clearly highlights the Londoners’ lack of consistency.
However, there is still an awful lot to play for this season and Spurs could go into the summer window with Champions League football with a strong end to the season.
It will take an impressive end to the campaign, but it is certainly an achievable target for Conte’s side and it would definitely transform the mood of the Italian going into the transfer window.
