Tottenham boss Antonio Conte ‘won’t be there next season’

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte will not be at the club next season according to former Aston Villa captain Gabriel Agbonlahor with last night’s defeat to Nottingham Forest the perfect example of a ‘Spursy’ performance. The Lilywhites were knocked out of the Carabao Cup with the result, passing up an opportunity to compete for their first silverware since 2008. Tottenham had previously enjoyed their best-ever start to a Premier League season after taking 23 points from their opening 10 games. However, their performances have dropped off in recent weeks with the result at the City Ground and have failed to win five of their last seven games in all competitions. They have got behind in all of the fixtures with their first-half performances particularly poor. Conte has also been heavily criticised for his play style, with many fans unhappy that the club are not easy on the eye. Now, Agbonlahor has suggested the Italian may not have a long-term future at the club with fans unwilling to accept the football on offer if it does not come with the benefit of trophies. ‘Spurs are getting away with it this morning,’ he told TalkSport. ‘Spurs fans would take constantly playing this sort of football if he [Conte] was going to guarantee them a trophy but they’re not going to win the Premier League. They’re not going to win the Champions League. FA Cup is much harder to win in the Carabao Cup. JUST IN: Newcastle ‘to make formal offer’ for exciting Argentine Maximo Perrone ‘in next few days’ Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has been tipped to leave the club.

Spurs went strong and couldn’t get it done and people will say, ‘Why do you keep calling spurs Spursy?’ ‘Last night was a perfect example of a Spurs performance. Next season. I don’t think he’ll be there. I don’t think they’ll win anything this season.’ The 36-year-old also placed doubt on Harry Kane’s long-term future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with the England captain desperate to win trophies. Agbonlahor believes may look for a move elsewhere with his current club unable to match his ambitions. DON’T MISS…Liverpool ‘assessing Isaksen move’ as Lijnders makes ‘special’ claimEndrick’s stance on joining Chelsea, Real Madrid or PSGMan City boss Pep Guardiola sheds new light on Erling Haaland injury Harry Kane has also been tipped to leave Tottenham in search of trophies. (Image: GETTY)’I think it’s a big discussion for Harry Kane,’ he explained. ‘I said about a month ago Harry Kane surely wouldn’t leave because of the top goal scorer in the Premier League. It’s a big thing but surely you’re going to be thinking, come on, we’re not going to win anything here. I need to go somewhere where I’m going to win trophies.’ Tottenham will try to turn their form around against Leeds this weekend in what is their final fixture before the long hiatus for the World Cup.Want the latest Premier League news as we publish it on Express Sport?
