Antonio Conte: Tottenham's new head coach
Antonio Conte became Tottenham's Head Coach as part of a contract that will last until the summer of 2023, with an option to extend, the English club said.
Conte has won titles in Serie A, including a hat-trick of Scudettos with Juventus, the Premier League, and also managed Italy, leading the Azzurri to the quarter-finals of Euro 2016.
Who is Antonio Conte?
Born in Lecce, Antonio began his football career at his hometown team (1985-1991) before landing in Juventus (1991-2004). A midfielder, he won five Scudettos with La Vecchia Signora, the UEFA Cup in 1993, and the Champions League in 1996. He earned 20 caps for Italy and was part of squads that achieved runners-up status in the 1994 World Cup and Euro 2000.
Conte began his coaching career as an assistant in Siena in 2005 and had spells at Arezzo, Bari – where he won Serie B – and Atalanta before returning to Juventus in 2011. He won the title in his first season, 2011/12. He completed a hat-trick of titles with success in 2012/13 and 2013/14 when Juventus amassed a Serie A record of 102 points.
He took charge of the Italian national team in 2014 and led them to the quarter-finals of Euro 2016, topping their group and beating Belgium and Spain along the way.
After two years in charge of the Azzurri, Antonio returned to club football at Chelsea in 2016 and secured the Premier League crown in his first season, 2016/17, with a then league record of 30 wins in 38 matches, including a run of 13 straight victories.
Antonio added the FA Cup to his list of honors in 2018 before moving back to Italy and Internazionale in May, 2019. Having finished second in Serie A in 2019/20, and reached the final of the Europa League, he guided Inter to their first title in 11 years in 2020/21, ending Juventus’ run of nine successive Scudettos.
“I am extremely happy to return to coaching, and to do so at a Premier League club that has the ambition to be a protagonist again," Antonio said.
