The result makes it two defeats in four days for Conte’s side, compounding a bad week worse Spurs lost 4-1 to Leicester City at the weekend and losing Rodrigo Bentancur to an ACL injury at the same time.
Conte was speaking after the game, and dropped a big hint on his future plans.
“I don’t want to talk about the future but as a former Italian national manager, people know how much Italy means to me,” Conte said after the game. “It’s in my heart. I will never exclude the possible idea that I will be back here one day.”
