Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte is interested in managing another club at some point in his career, according to Alasdair Gold.
The Spurs correspondent was speaking on the latest episode of the Gold & Guest Talk Tottenham podcast with reports on the Italian’s future circulating.
Do you expect Conte to be at Spurs next season?
Yes
No
With just five games remaining of the 2021/22 Premier League campaign for the Lilywhites, reports in France have suggested the 52-year-old has an interest in managing Paris Saint-Germain.
There is a lot resting on these final games of the campaign for Spurs after their last two games saw Conte’s men come away with just one point to show.
Gold has claimed the speculation has not come from Conte’s camp, however, he did also add the Italian does have a move to Roma on his to-do list at some point in his career:
(39:00) “Do you know what? Actually I’ve been told by various people, and it’s not just one person, that he actually is quite interested in the prospects of managing Roma at some point. ”
TIF Thoughts on Gold’s comments…
This is perhaps a surprise to hear given Roma are in a similar position to Tottenham at the moment as they find themselves struggling to achieve Champions League football after a number of promising seasons (via Transfermarkt).
And it does seem to correlate to the same path Jose Mourinho has taken in his career with the two managers now having managed a lot of the same clubs.
Although we don’t think Spurs fans will be worried about Roma prising Conte away from North London, we do think they will be hoping the speculation surrounding PSG will not distract the Italian amid the run-in.
