Richard Keys has written on his website that he does not think that Antonio Conte will be at Tottenham Hotspur for the long term, and has suggested that Manchester United should have appointed him.
The former Sky Sports pundit believes that Conte will not stay on as the head coach of Tottenham for long.
Manchester United announced last week that Erik ten Hag will take charge of the first team from the end of the season until June 2025, with the option to extend for a further year.
Ten Hag is in charge of Dutch giants Ajax at the moment.
The beIN Sports presenter wrote on his website: “Ten Months might turn out to be a stroke of genius by football director John Murtough and Darren Fletcher – but I have to wonder – what was the rush to appoint him?
“Not one of the other big clubs in Europe was chasing him. Not one. So why did United dive in headlong now?
“As I write Poch looks as though he’ll be on the market. I still don’t believe Conti is in for the long haul at Spurs. There are so many other options.
“But it’s done. Ten Months has got his work cut out and I fear he’ll go the same way as the others.”
Antonio Conte to stay at Tottenham Hotspur?
In our opinion, Tottenham fans should not worry about Conte leaving anytime soon.
Now, of course, we know that anything is possible in football, and Conte has made remarks which suggest that he is not entirely happy with the current situation at Spurs.
Moreover, there is speculation that Paris Saint-Germain are looking at the Italian tactician as a possible replacement for Mauricio Pochettino.
However, we have to remember that Conte has a contract at Spurs, and he is a proud manager who will not want to leave the North London club in a hurry, especially if the team finish in the Premier League top four this season.
