i think so, the narrative around antonio conte is he is a - around antonio conte is he is a combustible character, and he certainly is that. when things are not going his way, he will let players know which is, may be given the performance they've had this season, what is needed at tottenham equally, he'll let the executives know if he's not happy either. but there's never been any debate about there's never been any debate about the football he produces. when he went into chelsea, he managed to sort out a situation there which had... even though they weren't doing particularly well. he teased terry out in a five—month defence, sweeping them to a premier league title. it didn't go so well in the following year, and that he went to milan where he had a year they're building the team, than last year he developed a team that won the serie a title there as well. i don't think there will be a style with antonio conte and his style of football, it'll be more about who he falls out with. ., ., with. one thing that conte will inherit is the _ with. one thing that conte will inherit is the har

for me, the obvious contender was antonio conte, who was out of i was antonio conte, who was out of work after leaving inter milan, but tottenham have snapped him up. they have acted decisively and they have gone to get the outstanding manager who was out of work. manchester united have blundered there because that if they had got rid of ole gunnar solskjaer after the liverpool game when many thought they should, they could have got antonio conte. i think this talk of an interim manager coming in until the end of the season, which of course solskjaer was initially appointed as an interim manager afterjose mourinho, i think there is talk of zinedine zidane, but i think brendan rodgers the leicester city manager is probably, he would be my preferred candidate. i think he deserves another chance at one of the big english clubs, he did a greatjob at celtic, and south of the border in the premier league he has done a good job at leicester. i'm not sure how much further he can take less debt now, and i would not be surprised if manchester united make a move for brendan rodgers. he missed out o

antonio conte is a hands—on coach. most of football knows he gets results but the hard way. players say his first weeks in charge have been sprints and drills but here leeds united were quickest out of the traps. stuart dallas almost gave them a sensational start and while tottenham looked for marginal gains, it was leeds making the inches. spurs�* first half was drifting but the away side found late energy. on tuesday danjames set up the goal that earned wales a draw with belgium. now he was making an italian sad. how would conte rally spurs for the second half? well, the early signs showed promise. harry kane somehow hit the post but the breakthrough was coming. that scruffy equaliser was their first league goal under conte but now he wanted more and with sergio reggio�*s finish, the extra yards were paying off, the spaniard following in the most alert, spurs now 2—1 up. that was enough for the first win of a new era and spurs hope this is the conte effect. three points take them seventh but this club now know they have a man at the helm who makes teams contenders. j
