JAKARTA - Tottenham Hotspur captain Hugo Lloris said on Wednesday the players had a great opportunity to work under new manager Antonio Conte. The arrival of the Italian coach will raise higher expectations at the club.
Conte, who has previously coached Juventus, Chelsea and Inter Milan as well as the Italian national team, was appointed to replace Nuno Espirito Santo after the Portuguese was sacked due to a negative trend in 17 games.
"He (Antonio Conte) is very ambitious and believes in all the players in the dressing room," Lloris said.
"This is a great opportunity to work under one of the greatest managers of recent years," he added.
Conte took over as Spurs were ninth in the Premier League on 15 points after 10 games, 10 adrift of leaders Chelsea.
"Now is not the time for words. Now is the time for work," Lloris insisted.
"It's time to believe again in ourselves, our team and at our club Tottenham, with Antonio Conte there will be more hope.
“But then again, it doesn't matter what people say outside. The most important thing is what happens inside the locker room, inside the building. There is ambition at the club. We also want to respond to the fans' expectations. That's important," Lloris said.
Conte's first challenge as Tottenham coach is Thursday's home game against Dutch side Vitesse in the European Conference League.
