Sissoko: Conte or Zidane for Tottenham?

Tottenham attacker Moussa Sissoko admits his future may depend on the next managerial appointment.

Sissoko concedes he is considering his options this summer.

He told Foot Mercato: "There are big names that are mentioned. It's flattering for the club. My future may be linked to that too. A new coach can come in and tell me that I am not going to be in his plans and that I have to leave. As he could also tell me that he wants me to stay.

"We know what the career of a footballer is like. We'll see what happens and based on that, I'll make a decision.

"I know the club, I've been there for five years. Which trainer will be the most suitable? I don't have an answer to that. We had Mauricio Pochettino, then in another José Mourinho style. You told me about Antonio Conte, he's a great coach who won at Chelsea, at Inter. Zinedine Zidane, he won everything at Real Madrid. They are coaches of different styles, but they are the coaches who win.

"I think what the club will want above all else is a winner. Then there are other criteria which certainly come into play, but that I cannot answer. It's up to the president to make his choice and he will do the best for Tottenham."
