Things are beginning to look up for Tottenham Hotspur.
With Antonio Conte at the helm, and those around them faltering, the club have a great chance at securing Champions League qualification this season, and are profiting from a positive January recruitment drive.
But what exactly does the future hold for Spurs going forward?
We took to Football Manager 2022 to find out.
The popular video game franchise is renowned for its meticulous detail and authentic approach to the world of, well, football management, and we thought we’d take a look into the future by fast forwarding to the end of the 2026 transfer summer transfer window.
For one thing, Conte is long gone, and has been replaced by compatriot Roberto Mancini in the dugout, with the Italian making wholesale changes to the side.
Silverware has still been hard to come by, however, with a solitary Europa League win in 2024 providing Tottenham with their only success over the next four years or so.
