Tim Howard has stated that Tottenham manager Antonio Conte ‘makes me laugh’ after watching him in training, as he told Footy with UTI.
The former USA goalkeeper stated that he watched clips of Conte in action at Hotspur Way and he was a ‘joy to watch’.
Quite a number of the Tottenham players and staff aren’t in training at the moment after a COVID outbreak at the club.
Conte will want to get back in action as soon as possible because his players were making strides since his arrival in November.
But during the small period of time, the trophy-laden coach has been in north London, he has won over a number of fans, including ex-Premier League stopper Howard.
“I was watching clips of Conte on the training ground and the box is sliding in,” said Howard.
“He makes me laugh. He is a joy to watch.”
Spurs are scheduled to play Leicester City on Thursday and they will be hoping they can get back training in order to prepare for that match.
Of course, a lot of that will be down to whether players and staff can return to Enfield and if those positive results have been stopped.
If they do return to action on Thursday, then they will lock horns with a Brendan Rodgers team that seemed to have found some form.
The Foxes put four goals past relegation-threatened Newcastle on Sunday and dampened the criticism aimed at their manager in recent weeks.
Either way, there isn’t much respite for those in Spurs colours because they will be hosting Liverpool next Sunday and they can’t afford to go into that game half-cooked.
