Antonio Conte was asked to immediately ‘clean up’ at Tottenham Hotspur. The Italian man is expected to be able to kick some players.
Conte has officially become Tottenham manager, replacing Nuno Espirito Santo. The former coach of Bari, Atalanta, Siena, Juventus, the Italian national team, Chelsea and Inter Milan is contracted until 2023.
Coming to London again, after having coached Chelsea in 2016-2018, Conte immediately gave victory. In the UEFA Europa Conference League, the 52-year-old brought a 3-2 victory on Friday (11/5/2021) early morning WIB.
Although called a manager with a guaranteed title, Conte is considered to need a competitive squad. The former Lecce and Juventus player was advised to get rid of several players who were deemed not good enough.
Former Liverpool player, Steve Nicol, believes there are several Tottenham Hotspur players that Antonio Conte can release. Among them are Davinson Sanchez, Eric Dier, Dele Alli and Harry Winks.
“Yeah, sure, they didn’t do anything for the Spurs defence. Dier or Sancjez are not like Ronald Koeman, who can send the ball from behind. You’re just talking about a lot of centre-backs, and that’s not good enough for Tottenham,” Nicole told ESPN FC. .
“I think Dele Alli is finished at Spurs too. He doesn’t look like he’s frustrated to stay there. Even though he’s not often brought into the game, I think there’s something wrong with his attitude.”
“But when you have his ability, not even in the squad, whether you have thrown him out, maybe the manager doesn’t like him at all, but it shows he is in the plans. Harry Winks is not going to make Tottenham Hotspur better, not at all,” he said.
