The club is already succession planning, and Fabio Paratici has begun drawing up a shortlist of possible candidates, thought to be topped by former Spain boss Luis Enrique.
Daniel Levy will have the final say on whether Conte remains in the job until his contract is up in June or leaves sooner, which really boils down to whether the chairman believes he is still the best man to lead Spurs to another fourth-placed finish and salvage something from the season.
There has been little in recent weeks to suggest Conte’s side are capable of maintaining their loose grip on fourth, although they have a favourable run-in, starting against Forest tomorrow, and one game a week for the remainder of the campaign. Liverpool still have to play four of the ‘big six’, including Spurs.
There is incentive for Levy to be decisive rather than appoint an interim boss (which would almost certainly be Ryan Mason) until the end of the season, when there will be increased competition for available elite coaches, possibly from Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Juventus.

Charismatic, sexy and funny...good things really do come in threes
In terms of watchability, a cast made up of Nicola Walker, Stephen Mangan and Erin Doherty is pretty hard to beat. The trio's relatable charisma, and the residual associations of their TV roles in The Split and The Crown (where Doherty played the young Princess Anne) add mightily to the enjoyment of Mike Bartlett's play, in which a loving but romantically stultified middle-aged couple decide to invite a younger woman into their bed and their lives.
