EPL: I don’t live in past glories- Conte makes three promises to Tottenham fans

 

New Tottenham Hotspur manager, Antonio Conte, has made three promises to the club’s fans.

 

Conte promised Tottenham fans that he would deliver good and attractive football, with patience and stability.

 

He said he would do everything to deserve their support at the club, adding that he lives in the present and not in the past.

 

The former Chelsea and Inter Milan boss was appointed Tottenham’s new head coach on Tuesday following the sack of Nuno Espírito Santo.

 

“To be Tottenham manager is a great pleasure and honour,” Conte told Tottenham’s official website ahead of their Europa League clash with Vitesse on Thursday.

 

“My coaching philosophy is very simple – to play good football and attractive football for our fans. With patience and to be stable – not up and down.

 

“I think the fans deserve to have a team that is competitive with a will to fight. I will do everything to deserve their support.”

 

When asked what his motivation is after winning titles in Italy and England, Conte added: “This is the past and I live in the present. For Juventus, I played 13 years and I won a lot and everything with them. Then I came back and started as a coach to win nine titles in a row.

 

“It means we dominated and I started that and then stopped this cycle with Inter Milan. In the last two years with Inter, we had the second-best attacking and best defence.

 

“My past and what I did with the previous teams and clubs, the past is important, and I’m proud.

 

“For me, the new challenge is Tottenham. I want them to become an important part of my career as a football manager.”
