The Times – Conte wants to return to Serie A: informal contact with Inter

The former Nerazzurri coach is seriously considering leaving Tottenham to return to Italy

Antonio Conte is back in the saddle at Tottenham Hotspur after nearly three weeks in Italy recovering from a gallbladder removal. “The break has strengthened his desire to return to his homeland at the end of the season,” The Times wrote today.

The future will be discussed later, but the results will still carry weight: “If Tottenham are excluded from Europe, the chances of parting with Conte and the club will increase before his contract expires at the end of the season. Tottenham have the option to extend the current term of the contract by one year, but the 53-year-old said he He will only remain in his position next season if he is happy, and he is expected to return to Italy this summer.”

In short, no matter the legitimate ambition, the desire to be home can make all the difference. Conti has been living in a hotel since he has been in London and has repeatedly stressed the lack of his family, who are trying anyway to get to him as much as possible.
