Paratici calls for Tottenham’s patience with Conte no guarantee of success | News Today

Spurs, on the other hand, have been trophyless since 2008 and the team have been in steady decline since losing the 2019 Champions League final to Liverpool.

Conte’s appointment has raised hopes that Spurs will be able to quickly end their trophy shortage, but Paratici, who heads the club’s football team and was instrumental in recruiting Conte, has warned that it might take some time.

“No one can assure us of winning anything,” said Paratici, who was replacing Conte at Wednesday’s pre-Vitesse press conference as the 52-year-old waits for a work visa.

“We have to work, be focused and committed to the project 100% every day. This is what we have to do. There is no guarantee of winning anything. No one can do that. We have to do our best.

“When I speak of patience, to improve, it takes time. To achieve something, we have to go day by day, work hard. What we can do is this. But it is sure that we believe that we can achieve our goals, otherwise we are not there. We have to believe that we can achieve our goals.

“Great infrastructure, great club, players, history, we have everything to achieve great things. We are here to improve every day, and if we improve, we improve the club.”

Paratici worked with Conte at Juventus, where the latter led the old lady to the first three titles in an 11-game Scudetto-winning streak before breaking their extraordinary dominance by guiding Inter Milan to their first Serie A win. in 11 years last season.

“When we started at Juve we don’t win for a long time,” Paratici added. “We didn’t think about what we had to win, we thought we had to compete.

“Then when we’re at that level, then you have to improve again and get to win trophies. It’s day to day that you win trophies. That’s not what you’re talking about, it’s how you act You have to work hard and stay focused Nothing else.

“I have already worked with Antonio Conte in another club. I know him very well. He is a hard worker, with a lot of passion and a lot of knowledge. He is one of the best coaches in the world. His record speaks for itself. We have to work hard and engage. “

When asked if Spurs are in a good position to win trophies, Paratici said yes but reiterated the need for patience.

“I think so. We are here to do our best to win trophies, big or small,” he said.

“We try to win every game, we try to do our best every game and build the best this season and the following seasons. Sometimes you have to be patient to get results, you have to be prepared to suffer, to be ready to suffer. sacrificing for the group. It’s our mentality and we have to improve in that way. “
