Muhammad Awwal AbubakarAntonio Conte became the manager of Tottenham Hotspur in November 2021, taking over from Nuno EspÃrito Santo.
With a successful track record at clubs like Juventus, Chelsea, and Inter Milan, he brought significant experience to Spurs.
Conte’s time at the club had both promising moments and challenges. Initially, he revitalized the team, leading to better performances and a strong Premier League finish. His tactical approach was effective, instilling discipline and determination in the squad.
However, inconsistency plagued the team, especially in crucial matches, and a lack of depth became evident. Conte also voiced frustrations over the club’s failure to secure his preferred signings during the transfer market.
As tensions grew between Conte and the club’s management, the disparity between expectations and the squad’s limitations became increasingly apparent. By the end of the 2022-2023 season, the situation deteriorated, leading to his departure in March 2023.
Despite a rocky conclusion, Conte’s influence and efforts to elevate Spurs into title contenders left a mark on the club’s recent history.
Fabrizio Romano reports that both Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea made unsuccessful bids for young left-back Patrick Dorgu during the summer transfer window. Both clubs remain interested, but now face strong competition from Serie A leaders Napoli.
Currently, Conte, now at Napoli, has personally shown interest in Dorgu, aiming to persuade him to join his new team.

Regarding Dorgu, The Mirror reported that Lecce, having recently signed him to a new contract, is set to demand over £30 million for his transfer this winter. While Spurs are in the running, Chelsea could have an advantage, given Dorgu’s support for the West London club.
