Tottenham Hotspur supporters will love manager Antonio Conte's recent comments...

What's the word?

Speaking ahead of their penultimate pre-season friendly against AS Roma in Tel-Aviv, the Italian head coach claimed that "we can work for many years together," as relayed by football.london reporter Alasdair Gold, who was in attendance for his press conference.

The former Inter Milan and Chelsea manager is only under contract for the remainder of the current campaign, having signed an 18-month deal when he took over from Nuno Santo back in November.

There is an option of a one-year extension and these comments will surely hint toward that being triggered at some point this campaign.

Spurs supporters will go wild

Given the uncertainty over the Italian's longevity in the Spurs dugout, whether it be down to their ambition in the transfer market or their performances on the pitch, Spurs fans may well go wild over these comments.

Ultimately, Conte worked wonders with the squad last season, earning a fourth-place finish, which they stole from arch-rivals Arsenal's grasp late in the campaign.

He has now been backed in the transfer market with six new additions, with the club on the lookout for a seventh in the form of either another centre-back or attacking midfielder.

Conte is certainly being backed as sporting director Fabio Paratici splashed a whopping £60m on Richarlison from Everton, and he's unlikely to even start due to Heung-min Son, Harry Kane and Dejan Kulusevski's form towards the back end of the season.

There are always murmurs in the press surrounding Conte and his future that send worries right through the fanbase but these latest comments will surely alleviate those doubts to send supporters into raptures, less than two weeks before the start of the new Premier League campaign.

Conte suggests that he can work with this squad for many years to come, meaning he seems committed to the Lilywhites for the long-term, and it's that sort of stability the north Londoners need to get back on top.

Those fans around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will surely be buzzing.
