Tottenham great Hoddle keen to see Conte carry on

Tottenham great Glenn Hoddle wants to see Antonio Conte remain in charge.

Hoddle believes that Conte has done a good job at Tottenham and if the team had played the way the fans want they would be in mid-table right now rather than in fourth place.

"No one knows what's going on. As a Spurs fan, I wanted Conte to come out and say that he wanted to stay and do the job. While I don't think he'll be at Tottenham next season, I think Conte has done a decent job," he told Betfair.

"If this squad had played the open football that the fans wanted, they'd have been mid-table so I think Conte has done very well with what he's got. If he was given more to build in parts of the team then I think success would've been around the corner.

"There's no plan at Tottenham so everyone is up in arms at the moment. They need to finish in the top four this season but it's difficult because there's no harmony in the team.

"You look at Manchester United a few years back, now they've settled down with a manager they're happy with and we can all see the turnaround that's happened - that's what's got to happen to Tottenham."
