Antonio Conte will be in charge of his first Tottenham Hotspur game against Vitesse in the Europa Conference League.
Here’s a look at what’s happening in European football on Thursday:
Conte’s Debut
Antonio Conte is preparing for his first game in charge of Tottenham against Vitesse in the Europa Conference League. The Italian is the club’s third manager this year after the firing of Jose Mourinho and Nuno Espirito Santo, which lasted only 17 games. “My coaching philosophy is very simple, passionately playing good football and engaging football for my fans,” Conte said. “To keep a team steady, not up and down.” The Italian, who won the Serie A title with Inter Milan in May, has inherited Tottenham’s squad, which are third in their four-team European group with four points from three matches.
Mourinho’s memory
Roma coach Jose Mourinho is set to advance in the new Europa Conference league after an embarrassing 6-1 defeat by Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt. With Bodo coming to Roma this time, Mourinho says, “it’s impossible to forget a result like this.” After starting almost all reserve two weeks ago, Mourinho indicated he would rely on his normal start this time around. “Obviously. I was a little bit scared before the first meeting, but I wouldn’t be this time. I worried about the cold, the pitch, the injuries, the fatigue… I was worried about everything, except losing. Of concern. I made mistakes, we all made mistakes. But the same team won’t play tomorrow.” Bodo leads Group C, one point ahead of Roma, having won their opening two matches in the third tier competition. “We’re in a good place. … With six points on the board and two home matches still to go. It’s a good place to be in. So it’s not an important game and it’s not a game on which much There’s more pressure. But we want to finish first, we want to win the game.”
Sociedad’s injuries
Real Sociedad will welcome Sturm without Ander Guevara and Mikel Ouarzabal due to injuries, while Alexander Isaacs is listed as suspect while receiving gastroenteritis care. Sociedad are unbeaten in 14 matches in all competitions, with the only defeat in their Spanish league opener at Barcelona. The Spanish club are two points behind Monaco and one point ahead of PSV Eindhoven in Group B of the Europa League. Sturm is the last in the group with zero points.
