sport news How Antonio Conte is moulding Tottenham in his image trends now

Just eight months ago, all looked bleak at Tottenham - a club who were slipping further and further away from contention for the top trophies in the game.

Nuno Espirito Santo was reaching the end of his disastrous reign in charge, Harry Kane looked like a man who still wanted out after his failed move to Manchester City, and fans were not happy with the way things were going - as they vocally demonstrated during their 3-0 loss to struggling Man United at home. 

Antonio Conte has worked his magic at Juventus, Chelsea and Inter Milan, all of whom had a distinctive style moulded in his image, enjoying much success.

But when he stepped through the doors at Tottenham, it was regarded as his toughest task yet and some believed he would walk away at the end of the season.

However, the Italian is a proven winner and one of the best manager's in the world, and like at his prior clubs, he has put his stamp on Tottenham and helped turn their fortunes around. 

With the help of January signings Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur, the inspired form of Son Heung-min and perhaps most importantly, making star striker Kane believe in the Tottenham project once more, inspired their push into Champions League qualification.

At Chelsea, he turned around a team that finished tenth in the league to champions just one year later in a record-setting season. 

Before that at Juventus, he won the title in each of his three seasons at the club. The last year he set a record Serie A points haul with a total of 102.

When he returned to Italian football in 2019, Conte laid the foundations in his first year at Inter. The next, his Inter side began making their move in November, occupied second until February and once they edged into first they did not let go of it, ending Juve’s nine year dominance of Italy’s top flight and winning the Nerazzurri’s first Serie A for 11 years.

Conte has had to lower his ambitions at Tottenham, but given the timing of his arrival and the improvements they had to make, leading them back into Europe's elite competition marked a significant achievement.  

Tottenham are heading in the right direction, and once a Conte team starts moving forward, it's difficult to knock them back in the other direction. 

There had been fears that he could leave the club after his anger at the start of the January transfer window, highlighted by their failure to sign Luis Diaz who was scooped up by Liverpool with no effort at all as Tottenham took time to get
