Background

Tottenham had an effective start to the 2021–22 Premier League season, winning their first three matches and topping the Premier League table. However, in early November, manager Nuno Espírito Santo was sacked due to poor form.

replaced him a day later while the club sat in ninth. Conte went undefeated in his first nine matches and eventually led the team to a fourth place finish, giving the club a spot in the group stage of this season's UEFA Champions League. The 2022–23 season thus would have marked Conte's first full season in charge of Tottenham, though he left the club during the 2022–23 season by mutual agreement.
