After the club’s embarrassing Champions League elimination at the hands of AC Milan, Antonio Conte’s reign as manager of Tottenham hotspur appears to be quickly coming to an end, according to Jamaica Observer.
After recuperating from gallbladder surgery, the Italian was back to the dugout on Wednesday, but his optimistic pre-match motivation about igniting his players’ passion was ineffective.
Following the 0-0 draw in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League, which meant Milan advanced 1-0 on aggregate, the club’s long-suffering faithfuls are now coming to terms with a 15th consecutive season without a trophy.

At full time, the atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium deteriorated as the home supporters fiercely expressed their displeasure.
The outcome summarized a terrible week for Spurs, who also fell at Wolves on Saturday and were eliminated from the FA Cup last week when they played away at second-tier Sheffield United.
With the 53-year-old’s contract expiring at the end of the season, it is somewhat unlikely he is going to sign another deal with the Spurs.
What did Conte Say About His Future?
“This is not the right day to speak about the future but I have a contract with Tottenham and Tottenham know very well my thoughts and at the end of the season we will meet and make a decision,” Conte said.
“I have a great relationship with my chairman (Daniel Levy), with Fabio Paratici (director of football), but it doesn’t mean I don’t tell them which is my vision, you understand? Then we will see.
“Now we have to finish the season. I have a contract until June. I am happy to work in Tottenham but at the end will make a decision.”
Tottenham Hotspur will play host Nottingham Forest in their next match, after which they will travel to the South Coast to play Southampton at the St. Mary’s Stadium.
