ANTONIO CONTE is ready to sign a new contract and end fears about his future.
Reports in Italy over the international break claimed the Tottenham boss would be open to a return to Juventus.
Conte blasted those suggestions as “disrespectful” and said he was “very happy” at Spurs, who have an option of a year’s extension on his deal, which is up next summer.
He said: “There doesn’t exist a right time. It could be tomorrow. It could be the last day of the season.
“The most important thing for me and the club is to understand we want to continue together, to go in the same direction.
“This is the most important thing. Otherwise I don’t see a problem.

“At this moment, I’m really happy. I don’t want to push the club about the situation because it’s not the right time.
