GARY NEVILLE remains confident Antonio Conte will win Tottenham a trophy despite their defeat to Liverpool on Sunday.
The Italian watched his side beaten 2-1 by Jurgen Klopp’s men at the weekend, Spurs’ second successive home loss and their third defeat in four Premier League games.
But Neville still feels Conte – whose Tottenham contract expires in the summer – will claim silverware before he departs North London.
Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: “I do think he’ll get them a trophy. He’s the type of manager who won’t leave until he gets them a trophy.
“He’s that type. He wants success. He will deliver success.”
He then went on to add: “I think he’s the only manager who went to Chelsea under Abramovich and I felt like he almost had the measure of the club.
“The club used to just spit managers out when they didn’t want them. He almost did that league in the first year, then did they win the FA Cup in his second season?
“But he was the only one that left Chelsea where I felt like it was on his terms. He’s smart, he’s intelligent.
“Daniel Levy will have to make sure he keeps him happy because if he feels like he’s going to be exposed and he isn’t going to be challenging for top four, he’ll just jump.
“And to be fair, he’ll turn on the club a little bit before that and you’ll start to see the PR. That’s not happening at this moment in time.”

Conte won three Serie A crowns with Juventus before moving to Chelsea where he lifted the Premier League and FA Cup.
He then moved to Inter Milan where he claimed the club’s first Serie A title in 11 years.
And now he is looking to end Tottenham’s 14-year wait for a trophy.
Spurs are in the last 16 of the Champions League, but are now eight points adrift of Premier League leaders Arsenal and have played a game more.
The Carabao Cup and FA Cup also offer him opportunities to win a trophy with Tottenham.
