Speaking about Conte, the Italian has a great record in the Premier League. He has won the title in the 2016-17 season with Chelsea and is surely one of the most high-profile managers around.
Conte recently guided Inter Milan to a historic Serie A title ending Juventus’ monopoly in Italy. However, he did not continue with Inter the next season and decided to take a break until Spurs came calling.

He has been exceptional for Chelsea over the years and even helped them win the title in 2016-17. In the same season, his contribution towards Chelsea was acknowledged as he won the Premier League Manager of the year award.
Conte is the kind of manager who likes pragmatism and therefore, he likes to sure up the defense first and then looks ahead. His base foundation is always a strong defense and then everything around it. He often looks to field wingbacks to provide him with more width and defensive flexibility.
Hence his teams do not concede so many goals. Conte is the ideal man to resolve the defensive woes at Tottenham.
He will look to mark his Premier League return with a victory in their away fixture against Rafael Benitez’s Everton.
