Conte Opens Up On Tottenham’s Poor Form, Transfer Strategy

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte revealed that it is not his responsibility to open up on the club’s transfer strategy and poor form.

Spurs have endured a poor run of form lately, losing 2-0 to North London rivals Arsenal.

“In England I think there’s a bad habit that it’s only the coach [who] talks and explains,” said Conte.

“I’ve never seen the medical department coming here to explain. I’ve never seen the club or the sporting director coming here to explain the strategy or vision of the club.

“In Italy, before every game there’s a person from the club that goes to speak to the media.

“I think for us it could be really better, otherwise there is only one face to explain the situation that I think is better for the club to explain.”

The Italian added: “I think it could be good for the club to be present in the media.

“Not every week, but at least every 15 days or once a month. I think it could be more simple for you to understand, otherwise it can seem [as] if something is a criticism or negative and it’s not the case.”

Tottenham have taken 10 points from a possible 27 and have slipped to fifth having lost five of their last nine Premier league games.
