Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has ducked questions about a Serie A return after last night's defeat at AC Milan.

Spurs lost the first-leg of their Champions League round 16 tie 1-0 at San Siro stadium.

Conte said, "Playing here in the San Siro as a player and manager is special, is unique. The San Siro is a historical stadium, it's a beautiful one, it is always packed with people, it is full, and I love the fact whether it is Milan or Inter, the stadium is always crowded.

"It is very good for Milan and the stadium. I am pleased for both groups of fans. Today this beautiful setting was playing against us, the Milan supporters were singing all the time and it is evident they were the 12th man tonight, this will be helpful with us when we play the second leg.

"I prefer to live in the present, I don't want to think about the future but you perfectly know that as an Italian man and the former Italy manager, Italy is in my heart and Italy will always stay there. I will never exclude the possibility that I will be back here one day, who knows."
