The ongoing internal tension at Tottenham Hotspur is perhaps best exemplified by manager Antonio Conte publicly calling for togetherness while also refusing to commit his future to the club beyond this summer. Anyone with a passing knowledge of the 53-year-old's career will know he is no stranger to this sort of equivocation, as he's known for manipulating his reputation as a proven winner to keep his employers honest. It usually ends acrimoniously.
Conte has never spent more than three years at any club since beginning his managerial career at Arezzo in 2006. In more recent times, he has delivered great success at Juventus, Chelsea and Inter Milan -- until disagreements with senior figures over future strategy contributed to an abrupt departure.
