I don't believe we've actually signed conte, I'm not falling for it for one second. Levy had him cloned, end of conversation.

It isn't but Conte SHOULD be able to give them a plan and raise levels.
Considering our run until Christmas, that's going to make a hell of a difference against the teams we have.
Then, if we can bring in two key additions we should be able to have a solid second half to the season.
West Ham are flying now but the tough part of their season is to come. The further they go in Europe the harder it is to balance and that's when the pressure ramps up.
United could easily go on a good run or a poor run and I don't see a way out for them if they fire Ole (who could they get now?)
Arsenal have had some good results recently but we've been here before where they seem to settle and then go on a poor run.

ANTONIO CONTE has been named as the Tottenham manager but it doesn't end there.
Usually when he takes on a new role, he brings with him an entourage of coaches and fitness experts with him to the Tottenham job.
From his trusted older brother Gianluca, who has worked with the new Spurs boss at five different clubs, to wife Elisabetta - they have all been instrumental in Conte's success in the past.
And while his backroom staff is yet to be confirmed, SunSport has gone on past working relationships to determine his preferred team to work with.
But, you can bet he will keep it in the family for his first appointment.
They started off at Bari together, then they've held jobs with Sienna, Juventus, Italy, Chelsea and Inter Milan.
An analyser of the game, Gianluca was a technical coach in his last role at Inter.
He also played professionally for Lecce, like his sibling.
“I’ve been working with Antonio for 13 years and I’m used to the way he experiences a game," Gianluca revealed.
"He is passionate. We know full well that he would go out and play with the boys if he could – he’s a caged lion. This passion defines him and he tries to impart it."
He added: "Antonio is a perfectionist, he always strives for excellence and everyone at the club is doing their utmost."
They were at Siena, then formed a dream team at Juventus and Inter Milan - winning Serie A titles.
The 47-year-old took control of three Inter games last season, when Conte was suspended, and won all of them.
But Conte will have a tough job on his hands persuading Stellini to join his new project, considering Stellini is a boyhood Inter fan.
He has experience of coaching in England, after a stint at Stamford Bridge from 2017-18.
Vanoli is credited with helping improve the defensive side of Conte's teams.
"My job is to follow the defensive phase: what I need to do is improve the individuals," he said.
"It’s not easy to play three at the back, there are a lot of concepts to internalise. Our job is to coach them all in the same manner."
Also from Lecce, the 56-year-old is a nutritionist and personal trainer that will guide Spurs stars' diets and fitness plans.
He comes with an incredible CV - having worked with the Italian national team.
Goalkeeper legend Gigi Buffon led the tributes on his last day with the national team, praising his work.
He also has a different opinion on Conte, who is normally presented as such a serious personality.
“Antonio Conte is the top," he told Italian website Any Given Sunday.
"He is above all a sunny person, joyful and with a ready joke. Absolutely exquisite. A hoot, it's not what it may seem on TV, when you see it all in one piece marked by its competitive charge.
"A person with a unique balance and goodness ".
The pair were together for 15 years before they married in 2003.
She and daughter Vittoria were his rock when he was under investigation for match-fixing.
Conte said of his family: "I have a great woman by my side, one who always tries to understand me.
"As for my daughter, she is the other woman in my life.
"She is beginning to understand that her dad gets nervous when he does not win".
The 53-year-old was also with Chelsea, so understands the physical challenges of the Premier League.
Prior to working with Conte, he worked in the lower leagues, including a spell with Calcio Sora in Serie C.
He is old school and will push Harry Kane and Co hard to make them the fittest side in the land.
He and Conte worked at Bari first, then most recently with Inter.
"Today, Antonio Conte isn’t the same person as he was 13 years ago in certain respects, but hard work has been a constant for him, and he’s always worked to achieve a single result," he said.
"In terms of injury prevention, there’s a whole lot involved: the daily work done on the pitch, what is done at home, how the players sleep, what they eat. All of these pieces put together lead to results over the course of the season."
Bruno is a dead cert to join Conte's Spurs regime, having left Inter.
He has a very strong bond with No1 Samir Handanovic, and loves working with the Slovenian.
Gianluca Spinelli was Conte's goalkeeper coach at Chelsea, but he is now with PSG and also unlikely to leave the French champions.
Sacked Nuno Espirito Santo brought Rui Barbosa to the club when he arrived to work with Hugo Lloris.
But it remains to be seen who will take the post now.

GIANLUCA CONTE
Since 2007, Gianluca, 56, has been a constant presence by Antonio's side.They started off at Bari together, then they've held jobs with Sienna, Juventus, Italy, Chelsea and Inter Milan.

CRISTIAN STELLINI
Current Inter assistant manager Stellini has worked with Conte three times.They were at Siena, then formed a dream team at Juventus and Inter Milan - winning Serie A titles.
The 47-year-old took control of three Inter games last season, when Conte was suspended, and won all of them.
But Conte will have a tough job on his hands persuading Stellini to join his new project, considering Stellini is a boyhood Inter fan.
PAOLO VANOLI
Currently without a club after leaving Inter, Vanoli is as likely as Gianluca Conte to team up with his old boss.He has experience of coaching in England, after a stint at Stamford Bridge from 2017-18.
Vanoli is credited with helping improve the defensive side of Conte's teams.
"My job is to follow the defensive phase: what I need to do is improve the individuals," he said.
"It’s not easy to play three at the back, there are a lot of concepts to internalise. Our job is to coach them all in the same manner."

Elisabetta, 45, has been by Conte's side for the majority of his football career as a player and manager.The pair were together for 15 years before they married in 2003.

Conte said of his family: "I have a great woman by my side, one who always tries to understand me.

CONSTANTINO CORATTI
Fitness coach Coratti is the man charged with ensuring Conte's side don't stop running.The 53-year-old was also with Chelsea, so understands the physical challenges of the Premier League.
Prior to working with Conte, he worked in the lower leagues, including a spell with Calcio Sora in Serie C.
He is old school and will push Harry Kane and Co hard to make them the fittest side in the land.

Welcome Conte. And it looks like we'll have a welcome return to a largely unified fan base.
I'm not expecting miracles at the outset, but I think we have a different set of prospects now for the season ahead. This guy doesn't put up with being undermined so the general sense of entitled players coasting along at our club should be binned in the coming 6 months. That sort of change will be pivotal and should be visible to us in relatively short order. For too long, the players have been viewed as assets at our club regardless of whether they are performing like assets, and it undermines the manager when he can't motivate them if they think they're untouchable. Or if he can't move them on if they don't respond to his motivation.
So good luck Antonio. And hopefully his relationship with DoF and Levy will be sustainable enough for us to make the step change in attitude over the coming nine months to re-emerge as a properly competitive club again.

As an italian this really excites me. Top 5 manager in the world, easily and the guy will stop at nothing to win, passion, fight, spirit and tactical genious. Even having teams that are not as good as the opposition he finds a way, he just somehow manages it.
I watched this guy manage one of the poorest italian national teams and the guy mixed it with the very best footballing nations and doing it very well.
I think between now and jan we will will look solid, controlled, after jan when we get a couple in we will purr and then next season we will be BIG time mixing it with the best, a monster machine.
Not sure if meantioned but its almost certain we will get kessie, conte will gave him top of the list. Id also expect another cb and potentially another cm, i could only dream of barella.

Wasn't aimed at you. Just seen a few worry it's a short contract compared to others, though Tuchel was similar at Chelsea. Basically just enjoy the moment.
Sometimes players/coaches can trigger their own options via performance related clauses. E.G achieving a major trophy, UCL qualification etc.
Same for players. E.G achieving a certain number of appearances, goals, clean sheets etc.
It all depends on the contract and T&C's. Was just curious as to whether any of this info had come to light yet.
