JAKARTA - Tottenham Hotspur will face a tough match in the Premier League this weekend. Harry Kane and his friends will travel to Emirates Stadium, Arsenal headquarters.
Ahead of this match, the atmosphere within the team was disturbed by issues related to the future of the manager, Antonio Conte. Rumors are Conte will return to Italy.
Conte is widely reportedly being targeted by Juventus. He is predicted to replace Massimiliano Allegri whose performance does not satisfy the club's management.
Moreover, the Italian man's contract will soon end. The opportunity to move is quite open.
Responding to these rumors, Conte made Tottenham's management and players relieved. He indicated that he still feels at home in London and has no intention of moving.
The former Inter Milan coach actually criticized the rumors. He called it "not polite".
"I think it's disrespectful for Juventus coach and disrespectful for me who's working for Tottenham," Conte said, as reported by AFP via Antara.
"We've just started the season. I've talked about this topic many times and I've always said I'm happy and enjoyed my time with Tottenham," he continued.
Conte added that he has a good relationship with the club owner. He also doesn't see any problems with his future at Tottenham.
"I don't want to hear people talk about this anymore because it doesn't respect me and other managers," he said.
He then commented on the racist actions that befell his player, Richarlison, who was thrown by bananas while playing for Brazil. Conte hopes that racist perpetrators will no longer be given access to watch the match at the stadium.
"Rich played with the national team, scored goals and then I think what happened was amazing because in 2022 it still witnessed a embarrassing situation like this," Conte said.
"Of course I hope people like this are banned from watching football for the rest of their lives," he concluded.
