Antonio Conte claimed he wanted a 'stable' Tottenham team, but his first match in charge saw him oversee a rollercoaster win over Vitesse... if the new Spurs boss was unsure of the task he faces, he certainly won't be now

Antonio Conte is back. The Italian was afforded a hero's welcome by the Tottenham Hotspur supporters who have heralded his appointment as the arrival of the messiah.

Conte took charge of Spurs for the first time as his new side defeated Vitesse Arnhem 3-2 in the Europa Conference League in a crazy encounter.

Spurs came into the game following a poor start to the campaign, including a 3-0 home defeat by Manchester United on Sunday.

The defeat resulted in the dismissal of boss Nuno Espirito Santo after just four months in charge, with fans having vented their anger at the former Wolves boss as well as chairman Daniel Levy following another lifeless display.
