Antonio Conte is a manager known for changing fortunes of struggling clubs. Firstly he revived a struggling Juventus side and made them Italian champions for three consecutive years. Post this he managed the Italian National Team for couple of years [Took them even to Euro quarterfinals]. In 2016 he came to England wherein he managed Chelsea F.C. for a couple of years. In the first year as a Chelsea Manager he helped Chelsea win their 5th Premier League title. It is pertinent to note that in the previous season Chelsea finished 10th and it was said that the decline of another West London Club has begun. But we ended up winning the premier league. The second season was not that good, but still Chelsea managed to win F.A. Cup. 

 In 2019 he returned back to Italy as the manager of Inter Milan. In his second season as Inter manager he helped Inter lift the Serie A title after 11 long years.  Interestingly it was Conte under who made Juventus a formidable force in Italy and it was eventually him who ended the winning run of  Bianconeri. 

Today Conte is back in England. This time as a manager of Tottenham Hotspurs. Tottenham has failed to win any silverware since 2008.  Furthermore it has been 60 years since Tottenham won the first division title. 

Will Conte change the fortune of a sinking club? Or will he add to a set of successful managers who failed to perform at Tottenham. The answer to this question lies in the womb of time.
