Antonio Conte has confirmed to Le Lene that he faces a meeting with Inter Milan chiefs after links with the Tottenham Hotspur job.

Reports in Italy have suggested that Conte has already met with Tottenham, who are looking for Jose Mourinho’s replacement.

Conte has guided Inter to the Serie A title this season, but his future looks far from certain.

And the Italian boss’s quotes last night, suggest that a move to Tottenham isn’t entirely off the cards.

“Will I be staying or leaving Inter? Now we enjoy the celebrations, then we’ll meet and decide,” he said.

“We will choose the best destiny for Inter.”

While Conte didn’t go as far as mentioning the Spurs job, his quotes come at an interesting time.

Conte may feel like he has unfinished business in England too.

The 51-year-old won the Premier League and an FA Cup with Chelsea, but was let go after a fifth placed finish in 2019.

Tottenham have been said to be looking for an attack minded coach, who has a real philosophy over how to play football.

Conte may not be the ideal fit for that mould, but his credentials really do speak for themselves.

And his latest comments add intrigue, as Tottenham search for their new manager.
