Tim Sherwood has said that he cannot see Antonio Conte staying as Tottenham Hotspur boss next season.
The £287,000-a-week man is yet to commit to signing a new contract at Spurs, which expires in the summer. Furthermore, the likes of Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Tuchel, Maurizio Sarri and Roberto De Zerbi.
And now, Tim Sherwood does not think Antonio Conte will remain at Tottenham in the summer, leaving the door open for any of the reported managerial targets to take over in the following campaign.
Sherwood does not think Conte will stay at Tottenham next season
While it seemed like the Lilywhites had finally brought in a serial winner in his absolute prime, cryptic messages in the press about potentially leaving and an underwhelming season are factors that may lead to the Italian’s exit.
Tim Sherwood seems to think the same about whether Antonio Conte will stay at Tottenham next season, as he said on the No Tippy Tappy Football Podcast, “No. No, I really don’t. If they win the Champions League, which is obviously a long shot. If they finish in the top 4, which is once again an incredible achievement last year and there’s a few dropped away.”
“He’s done a brilliant job to take them where they are. Forget what’s done in the past, they’re 5th in the league now. They’re chasing 4th, good chance they can get there. The FA Cup is wide open, there’s a lot of teams now that can possibly win that. And for a team like Tottenham who haven’t won that [in years], that’ll be a huge success.”
“So, no, I don’t think he’ll be there!”, he said before laughing out loud, implying that a top finish, a Champions League triumph or an FA Cup victory look unlikely.
Whether Tottenham supports think Antonio Conte is worth investing in for the future is likely to be split in the middle but Tim Sherwood seems to think that he is on his way out regardless.
