While a soccer manager can seem relatively powerless during the match — beyond three substitution windows, how many can you actually influence? — they play a key role in shaping the club’s identity. Take Antonio Conte as a perfect example of that. No matter where the Italian goes, his teams will play with three center backs, sit in a deep defensive block, and exploit counterattacks and transitions. And even though things haven’t fully clicked during the 2022-23 campaign, he has brought those principles to Tottenham Hotspur.

The manager, however, might not be seen on Spurs’ sideline for the near future. What’s behind Conte’s absence?
