Antonio Conte has admitted Tottenham are his biggest challenge in management.
The Italian coached led Chelsea, Juventus and Inter Milan to the title in each of his last three club jobs.
Speaking about his management of Spurs, Conte said:
“Compared to the past when I was at Chelsea, Tottenham is a different team. We have to try to build this team up again to being like Tottenham were at that moment.
“I remember very well, back then, Tottenham were really, really strong. They had an important squad with a mix of experience, a mix of strong young players and now we are starting another way, another path.
“So we need to have patience, especially our fans.”
When asked whether his job at Spurs was toughest of all, he said:
“For sure. It’s a big challenge for me.
“I know how it is. At Chelsea they were tenth but the previous season they won the league. That means you have a good basis to win again quickly.
“At Juventus, well - they are one of the best teams in the league and last decade they have won nine times.
"Also with Inter [they were in good shape].
“At the moment with Tottenham we are starting in a position further down. For this reason we need more time. You have to build a lot of things. You have to create a good foundation. That’s the difference.
“You need time and patience. It would be stupid for me to make any proclamations in such a short period. We already know now that we have to work.”
