In a pre-match press conference in the FA Cup against Mokham, Tottenham boss Antonio Conte said Spurs had to match his own ambitions and that he himself wouldn't mind that the contract was too short. Conte said that I was well aware that I was a top coach and also paid quite a high salary. Conte believes that when you have a good group of players and top players, the manager's job is much easier.

After Nuno's dismissal, Tottenham president Levy quickly finalized Conte as manager with an annual salary of £13 million, a 18-month contract with a one-year priority renewal clause. After losing to Chelsea in the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals, Conte also helplessly said that this is the level of Tottenham, and Chelsea is not at all on the same level, Spurs are now a mid-level team. This is also the second time after losing to Mulla in the European Cup that Conte has said the team is only in the middle of the level.
"I signed a contract until next season and I think (if I want to extend the contract) I need the club to make this decision together with me. I don't need a long contract to make sure I have a job myself, I think it was the club that thanked me for my job to extend the contract, but only if the club thinks I'm worth it. Conte responded to questions about whether he would renew his contract with Tottenham.
Conte went on to explain: "I'm not a coach who wants a long date, which is also unfair because I'm well aware that I'm a top coach with a pretty high salary. I was willing to change the situation at Tottenham, which is why I decided to sign with Tottenham. There's only one year left on the contract and it's no problem for me, Spurs need 120% trust in me before we can continue to work together. ”
As for Levi's more than 20 years as chairman, Tottenham Hotspur have won only one title, Conte did not directly point out: "I am very happy to work with the team because they have given me a good opportunity. But at the same time, the club also has to understand my vision, to be clear about my views on the situation and, above all, to match my ambitions. ”
Speaking about Tottenham's current players, Conte said: "With these players, I enjoyed my time at Tottenham because they showed me the willingness to improve and you would be happy to have players like this. When you're in a situation like this, it's easier because when you have good players and top players, the manager's job is much easier. ”
