Antonio Conte's Brilliant Response When Daniel Levy Asked Him About Champions League Hopes

Antonio Conte didn't think he Tottenham Hotspur had any chance of finishing in the Premier League's top four, when he arrived in north London, as he told Daniel Levy.

A win last weekend over Burnley put them above the Gunners and Mikel Arteta's team then lost to Newcastle United last Monday, making it advantage Spurs.

Heading into their final game of the season, Conte's side only need to match Arsenal's result with Everton, in their game against already relegated Norwich City.

It's a situation Conte clearly didn't think would unravel, as he revealed in his post match press conference, revealing he'd have thought Daniel Levy was joking asking for Champions League football back when he took the job.

Conte took over the reigns at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at the beginning of November, after Nuno Espirito Santo was sacked just months after taking the role.

Espirito Santo's poor run had seen the club drop completely away from the top four race, especially losing 2-0 to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Manchester United in the game before his sacking.

At the time it was felt like the losing team might get rid of their manager and attempt to bring Conte in, and the Italian did go to north London.

Tottenham's chase to finish in the top four has certainly been helped by the fact that United lost all their form in the second half of the season.

However the biggest factor, outside of Spurs own good form under Conte, will no doubt be the collapse by Arsenal in recent weeks.
