He's done it three times already, so I'm sure nothing will change. Have some success for a few years and then, jump ship.

Arsenal managerial target has already dropped hint over next club

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is under pressure after a series of tough results.

Antonio Conte has reportedly upped his efforts to move to Arsenal to replace Mikel Arteta, who is under growing pressure. The former Chelsea and Inter Milan manager has been tipped to become the next Gunners boss and solve their ongoing crisis.

 

Conte has come to a preliminary agreement to become the next Arsenal manager should Arteta be sacked.

Arsenal have had a shocking start to the season after three losses in a row without a single goal scored.

It has left them rooted to the bottom of the Premier League with Arteta coming under major trouble.

Any further defeats could have catastrophic repercussions for the Spaniard, especially since Arsenal take on Norwich and Burnley.

Hope this doesnt happen ... Conte would actually improve the team and would impose a winning mentality ...

Conte is capable of getting them into 5-6th, the other teams are stronger than years gone by, highly doubt they could get near champions league this season, even with Conte. The trouble is that next summer, what can they commit? They've just spanked £150m on up and comers.

Get real guys. Conte didn't want to stay in Inter after they said they need to sell one player and rejected Spurs who are on much bigger level. 

Arsenal have chances of getting Conte just as much as Accrington Stanley.

Well anything is possible and I just not want it to be done ... simple as that. 

Arsenal can always say we spend so much in this window and we will give u the same in the next summer ... with Conte off work right now, he might just be tempted to take it ...

It's great to have him back. I thought he was the best we had after Mourinho mark 1.

Now that we have tuchel we are good. Tuchel has potential of being the best if he stays here for a while. 

For Conte I hope he does us a favor and try to ask for lukaku so we can get rid of.

He needs something to tide over a year/18 months before the City job, PSG job, Real (again?) becomes available I guess.

I'm not overly worried about this given just how bad Spurs have become. Its a major repair job and Conte is not the best manager for it either. This is only going to end one way

[ZAPHOD2319 4,801]

He will have a pretty nice transfer kitty with that Harry Kane money.

[Pizy 18,858]

If they sell Kane and use those funds on a hungry, early to mid 20’s striker who will run through walls for Conte, a very good CB to replace Dier who is shit, and a complete overhaul of their midfield over the next couple of windows then they’ll be able to….compete for 4th, I guess 😂😂😂

Love Conte and he’ll make them respectable but the gap between them and Chelsea, City, Liverpool, and United when it comes to overall squad quality and draw to prospective players is massive. Conte won’t be able to shop in the same pool of players as the big boys and any top players he targets will be sought after by more attractive clubs. He’ll likely have to bring in young players with potential rather than the finished article. Which he is of course capable of turning into great players.

[dimmas 130]

Why he even take the job, i'm still struggle to understand this.

 

Is he doesn't as ambitious as some people think, only accept team with good condition and support to pursue big thropy, he (probably) not even suit for this team profile that spurs has at the moment

 

 

 

 

 

[Fernando 6,585]

Well with Harry Kane in shape they can easily do some damage. 

Spurs are good team just that they didn't want to play for nuno. 

They can easily finish above united in top 4
