# Tottenham: Robinson expects Spurs to offer Antonio Conte a new contract

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) will offer manager Antonio Conte a new contract for financial security, says Sky Sports pundit Paul Robinson.**

### **The Lowdown: Conte’s contract**

Having joined Spurs on an [18-month deal](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/12456995/antonio-conte-appointed-tottenham-head-coach-following-nuno-espirito-santo-sacking) towards the end of last year, the 53-year-old has entered the final ten months of his contract with the Lilywhites, which is set to expire in the summer of 2023.

Serie A journalist [Paolo Bargiggia](https://twitter.com/Paolo_Bargiggia/status/1570161470029152264) has recently suggested the Italian is unlikely to renew his contract with the north London outfit, claiming he is eyeing a return to Juventus at the end of the season.

### **The Latest: Robinson’s claim**

Robinson, former N17 shot-stopper often works as a pundit for [Sky Sports](https://icdb.tv/stats/110/Paul-Robinson), has said a new deal for Conte at Tottenham would not keep the manager at the club; instead, it would only ensure a greater compensation package for when he leaves.

Speaking with [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-expected-to-table-antonio-conte-new-deal-after-journalists-update-expert/), the former Spurs goalkeeper said:

“Contracts are not worth the paper they are written on when it comes to trying to keep managers.

“If a club wants your manager they will happily pay the price.

“What a new deal would provide though is financial security for the club. That is why I think they will be in talks with Conte over a new deal. The club would get more money if Conte was tied to a long-term contract.

“If a so-called bigger fish comes for your manager they normally take him. You only have to look at \[Graham\] Potter and Chelsea. It happens regardless of whether the manager has five months or five years on his contract.

“It just depends changes the amount of compensation. There is not a lot you can do if one of the biggest clubs in Europe wants your manager.”

### **The Verdict: Would be a huge loss**

Since Conte arrived at Hotspur Way in November last year, Tottenham’s squad, as a collective, have looked like a different team compared to the one led by Nuno Espirito Santo.

To date, Conte has achieved [1.96 points per match](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/antonio-conte/profil/trainer/3517) whilst in charge at N17, whereas the former Spurs boss left the club having averaged a poor [1.65 points per match.](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nuno-espirito-santo/profil/trainer/16520)

With the likes of [Harry Kane](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/12684974/harry-kane-is-happy-at-tottenham-and-i-want-him-to-sign-new-contract-says-antonio-conte) much happier with the Italian at the helm, Conte’s position at the north London club is crucial to the Lilywhites’ success.

Therefore, his departure would deal Daniel Levy and co a huge blow in their pursuit of silverware and their quest to keep players like Kane at the club.
