That says Gianluca Di Marzio, who reports about the Tottenham boss who wants to return to Italy for his family.
After last night’s win at Fulham, Conte said: “I’m really proud to be a Tottenham manager. I had the opportunity to be the manager of an important club, that makes me proud and that should be clear to everyone.
