Having the Italians in the 2 key positions will be interesting. They've worked together before and hopefully that can be a strength.
Worth remembering that Conte is in his 50's has only ever spent 2 years outside of Italy in a playing and management career. He will need to adjust.
How did he do at Chelsea?
Only at Spurs - interview Conte for the job 4 mths ago - Conte declines because Paratici wanted to play a defensive style of football - hire Nuno on a 2yr deal - sack him after 10 games and have to pay him out his contract - hire Conte after he‘s probably asked for a higher salary than what he was going to take initially because he knows we are now desperate to hire a new head coach and we fucked up with him initially. Geez this club has become an embarrassing laughing stock. And we go again……..rinse, spit, repeat.
Sky saying 18 months but that's probably guesswork. And I can't imagine Conte would take anything less than 2 years. I'm surprised it isn't at least 3.His deal is 2 years with option for a third apparently.

I can't think of many stranger things than us winning the league next season Sheringham.Like others have said, Conte is hardly built in the Spurs mould but with that said is just what we need at this moment in time. Gary made a great point about our transfer business been brought forward as surely if Conte does join he will have assurances regarding transfers both in January and in the summer.
This guy is a winner, no question. If we get our recruitment right over the next two windows he may well give us shout at winning the league next season. Stranger things have happened!
