Conte assistant: We could stay at Spurs for a while
Cristian Stellini has downplayed concerns over Antonio Conte’s future by insisting they could stay for a “long time” at Tottenham.Conte recently conceded he would only stay at the club if he was 100 per cent convinced by the project and, with his deal set to expire in the summer, speculation over his future continues.
Assistant Stellini – speaking ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup tie with Portsmouth – said: “Every time we have confidence on this. It’s not about the contract, it’s about the project, it’s about the future and we are confident every time.
“Fifteen months is not a big period. We are in the way we expect after 15 months. For that reason, we are in confidence.
“We are in a good moment. We have to work. Like Antonio has said many times, we need passion and heart in the work. It’s not the time of the contract that decides.
“Your behaviour is the work you do to decide the result. We are confident to stay here a long time because we are working hard and the players follow us.”
