Antonio Conte took charge of Tottenham on November 2nd, 2021.
The Italian has since managed 22 matches for Spurs in all competitions. It has not all been plain sailing for the former Inter Milan boss, but Conte has won 12, drawn three and lost seven so far.
His latest outing would see Tottenham hammer Leeds United 4-0, with the Whites sacking Marcelo Bielsa the day after that match.
Elsewhere, Heung-min Son would speak to the press after the Leeds win and outlined what Antonio Conte has brought to Tottenham:
“We have a fantastic manager. He brings passion, he brings so much positive energy. We are all happy to work with him. I think it’s so, so important we keep this,” Son said.
“That’s why he’s special. He’s so passionate. He wants to win, he wants clean sheets, he wants us to be better.
“This I think is such a positive signal. We should take this as improvement and we should be also that passionate for the games coming.”

Middlesbrough vs Tottenham
Son and Conte’s attention must now turn towards the League Cup. The Lilywhites are into the 5th round and are set to face off with Championship outfit Middlesbrough.
Middlesbrough did beat Manchester United in the 4th round, so Spurs may be slightly wary of that.
However, in truth, as long as Harry Kane and Heung-min Son’s shooting boots are on, they should have little issue seeing off a Boro side whose defensive ability is lacking, especially in goal were Joe Lumley continues to prove himself an unreliable option.
