Gary Neville makes bold Tottenham prediction despite Antonio Conte’s side losing to Liverpool

But Neville still feels Conte – whose Tottenham contract expires in the summer – will claim silverware before he departs North London.

Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: “I do think he’ll get them a trophy. He’s the type of manager who won’t leave until he gets them a trophy.

“He’s that type. He wants success. He will deliver success.”

He then went on to add: “I think he’s the only manager who went to Chelsea under Abramovich and I felt like he almost had the measure of the club.

“But he was the only one that left Chelsea where I felt like it was on his terms. He’s smart, he’s intelligent.

“Daniel Levy will have to make sure he keeps him happy because if he feels like he’s going to be exposed and he isn’t going to be challenging for top four, he’ll just jump.

“And to be fair, he’ll turn on the club a little bit before that and you’ll start to see the PR. That’s not happening at this moment in time.”
