Antonio Conte: Tottenham boss to stay on next season

Key takeaways: 

• Antonio Conte has won 21 of his 36 matches in charge of Tottenham.
• Antonio Conte will stay as Tottenham's manager next season.

Despite Spurs qualifying for the Champions League, there had been doubting over the Italian remaining on.

However, the news in midweek that owners ENIC were infiltrating £150m into the club has reduced fears about whether Tottenham would meet Conte's needs for progress.

Conte met the director of football Fabio Paratici in Italy on Friday and re-affirmed his obligation to the club.

It remains whether Conte will be ready to extend his agreement.

The 52-year-old's current contract ends in 2023, although the agreement does have an option to extend for 12 months.

In November last year, Conte was called Tottenham's head coach and guided the club to a fourth-place finish.

However, he seemed to suggest he was not happy at the club as lately as February, seemingly unhappy with his inherited situation.

After losing to Burnley on 22 February - their fourth defeat in five Premier League matches - Conte said he was frustrated and that "if the issue is the coach, I am willing to go."

He had also appeared to ask about Spurs' transfer strategy in an interview with Sky Italia but later said that his remarks had been mistranslated.
