Champions League ambitions
Conte has not yet won the Champions League as a manager and will have every intention of lifting Inter to that rarified air in next season’s competition. It’s an elusive title every manager sets their aspirational eye on, and one that Conte has no chance of winning for the foreseeable future at Tottenham.
Inter’s participation in the Champions League combined with Tottenham’s absence from Europe’s most elite competition will be enough of a deterrent for Conte. Managers of his pedigree need to be on the touchline for Tuesday and Wednesday evening encounters. It’s a part of his DNA and he will not want to part ways with one of the most rewarding aspects of being an elite manager.
