With Conte being a serial winner, these are good times for the North London club. Moreover, Bolt shed some light on Conte’s tactical nous and the structure he would keep in place at Spurs.

“Everywhere he goes, he structures the team so well. In January, he is probably going to get one or two players, then at the end of the season he is probably going to find proper players and bring them in,” said Bolt.

As Ole Gunnar Solskjaer remains at the wheel, the Norwegian coach has a lot to do to get his team back. The current performances of Manchester United irk the fans, especially with the quality of the squad available to them. Hence, Bolt too is concerned.

With Conte now out of contention, reports state Zinedine Zidane might be the next manager who will reinvigorate the club. Certainly, his arrival would help the club reach greater heights. Hence, Usain Bolt and United fans would hope the club moves in the right direction.
