Tottenham boss Antonio Conte insists he is ‘committed’ to Spurs despite previously questioning his future

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte says his problem is that he’s ‘a perfectionist’

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte says he is “committed” to the club, despite questioning his future following the midweek defeat by Burnley.

The loss on Wednesday was a fourth in five league games for Spurs and, afterwards, Conte said “if the problem could be the coach I’m ready to go”.

“I spoke to Daniel Levy,” said Conte, speaking before his side’s game at Leeds United at 1230 GMT on Saturday.

“Our chairman knows very well that I’m here to help the club in every moment.”

He added: “I will do that until the end.

“He shows me great consideration every day and for this reason, I’m committed for this club much more because I know the consideration for me is very high.”

Former Juventus, Chelsea and Inter Milan boss Conte replaced Nuno Espirito Santo at Spurs in November.

His side beat champions Manchester City 3-2 before the 1-0 loss to Burnley left Tottenham eighth in the Premier League and seven points from a top four place.

“For sure when I lose a game I am not the person to go and have a dinner,” said Conte.

“I think that I am not the right person, when I lose a game my mood is very bad and I prefer to stay alone and live the defeat, to stay alone and metabolise the defeat.

“I need one day to recover at least. This is me. It is me. I don’t like to lose. If you ask me what I hate in life it is to lose games.

“My mentality is to prepare myself, to prepare the players and to avoid this type of situation. There are many coaches that don’t suffer.

“For sure when I lose, if you expect that I am happy or to come to a press conference and laugh, I am not this person.

“I am sorry if I show my disappointment because maybe it would be good to keep this inside and not show my emotion.

“I am an honest person, it is difficult for me to lie or hide the truth.”
