Conte says he has a ‘big, big challenge’ in Tottenham

New Tottenham Coach, Antonio Conte says his current club needs to “improve the capacity to suffer” on the pitch.

Conte has taken over from Nuno Espirito Santo and will be charged with trying to get Spurs challenging for honours and Champions League qualification again. The 52-year-old said Spurs need to develop physically and emotionally, as well as “improve the capacity to suffer” on the pitch.

“This squad has to work to improve its physical condition to go into my idea of football; to have more order on the pitch and not be so emotional during the game, and also to improve the capacity to suffer,” he said.

“We have to improve in many aspects, and for this reason, I think Tottenham decided to try to change something because this situation is not good and usually the coach pays for this.

“But for sure we have to work together. The players know very well that they have to work a lot.

“If we want to try to be something important for the present or the future, we must be all be together.”
