Just eight months ago, all looked bleak at Tottenham - a club who were slipping further and further away from contention for the top trophies in the game.
Nuno Espirito Santo was reaching the end of his disastrous reign in charge, Harry Kane looked like a man who still wanted out after his failed move to Manchester City, and fans were not happy with the way things were going - as they vocally demonstrated during their 3-0 loss to struggling Man United at home.
Antonio Conte has worked his magic at Juventus, Chelsea and Inter Milan, all of whom had a distinctive style moulded in his image, enjoying much success.
