    “Conte’s 16-month reign already seemed to be drifting towards its conclusion before his vapid side were stunned by the Italian champions on a night when bitter north London weather matched the mood of every Spurs fan. Either way, an “arrivederci” is coming soon. His appointment here never seemed like a good choice and the fans are seriously annoyed with the Italian now. With this result, just 7 days after a shock FA Cup defeat to Sheffield United, sympathy is limited. This is what we could read in the inside pages of The Suna few hours after the disappointment of Tottenham in the Champions League.

    Weakened by this new disappointment and widely criticized by the English press, Antonio Conte is clearly no longer unanimous in His Majesty’s Kingdom. While Tottenham, under pressure from Liverpool and Newcastle, are currently in fourth place in the Premier League, the Italian will now have to secure Spurs’ place for the next European campaign. A delicate end to the season to manage for the former coach of Juve and Chelsea. After signing a short two-season contract, linking him with Spurs until June 2023, the Italian does not seem, moreover, inclined to continue the London adventure.

    Spurs think of Paulo Fonseca!

    Pushed towards the exit by his leaders, Conte should therefore, barring a reversal of the situation, leave Tottenham in the summer of 2023. And the board of the English formation already has some ideas to replace him. According to our information, Paulo Fonseca, currently stationed on the side of Lille, is thus one of the tracks studied and appreciated by the management of Spurs in the event of the departure of the 53-year-old coach. Already close to signing for Tottenham in 2021, after the departure of José Mourinho, the Portuguese technician would therefore be coveted again.

    The current Mastiffs coach had mentioned in previous interviews that he dreamed of one day coaching in the Premier League. A goal he always keeps in the back of his mind. Despite everything, Paulo Fonseca currently remains fully focused on the trajectory of the northern club, sixth in Ligue 1 after its spectacular draw against Lyon (3-3). As a reminder, the Portuguese is not the only candidate for a possible arrival on the bench of Tottenham since Mauricio Pochettino, free since his departure from Paris, or Roberto De Zerbi, the Italian coach of Brighton, are also regularly cited…

    A Portuguese referee in Ligue 1, Fonseca does not like this choice

    Scheduled for this Sunday at 3 p.m., the meeting between Lille and Angers will be refereed by a Portuguese referee. At a press conference, Paulo Fonseca made it clear that he did not approve of this initiative by the FFF.

    Paulo Fonseca, Lille, LOSC

    Let the players of Lille and Angers be warned, it will not be easy to discuss this Ligue 1 match with the referee, not in French in any case. And for good reason, the man in black designated to lead this meeting is Portuguese. The so-called Miguel Nogueira will take control of his very first Ligue 1 match.

    This feature is part of an exchange program between the French Football Federation (FFF) and the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF). This is not the first time that a Portuguese referee has traveled to France. As reminded The Voice of the Northa similar operation had already been carried out in 2021 during a clash between Racing Club de Lens and Bordeaux (3-2).

    “I admit that I do not like this situation”

    The rules of football being the same everywhere, the nationality of the referee is not a priori likely to influence the course of the game. For Paulo Fonseca, the coach of LOSC, the FFF would however have done better to abstain. In a press conference, the former coach of AS Roma did not hide a certain annoyance.

    “I admit that I do not like this situation. I think it’s very difficult for a referee who comes from Portugal. It can be a good situation for another game, but for our game, I don’t like this situation. I’m Portuguese, we have a lot of Portuguese players, I think it’s not good”. explained the 49-year-old technician.

    The Mastiffs have four players from Portugal in their squad (André Gomes, Jose Fonte, Tiago Djalo and Angel Gomes).
