Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte has admitted that he faces a decision over his future.
Conte is currently under contract with Spurs until the end of the season, although the North London side have the option to extend that deal by an additional year.
However, the Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy will not exercise that option if the former Chelsea and Inter Milan manager does not wish to stay.
Speaking ahead of Wednesday's Premier League meeting with Crystal Palace, Conte commented on his current objectives for Tottenham, while he also indicated that he could leave his position as Spurs boss.
Conte told reporters: "Here, I understood that my task is different. My task here is to help the club, to build a solid foundation, to create a base, and then to try to improve. This is my task here, this is my challenge here.
"If you ask me the challenge is to win the Premier League here, the Champions League here, that is not my task here in this moment. The task for me is to help the club.
"I signed a contract in November 2021 and I found a club in a difficult position for many reasons. Now my task I understood very well was to help the club go in the right direction or to come back in the right direction, about the choices of the players, the work, to create a foundation.
"Now this is my big challenge here and I have to accept that if I want to stay here I have to accept this. Otherwise if I don't want to accept this, I have to go."
Since returning from the World Cup break, Spurs have drawn 2-2 with Brentford, before they were beaten 2-0 by Aston Villa at the weekend.
As a result, they currently sit in fifth place, but they will have the chance to reduce the five-point gap to the top four when they face Palace on Wednesday.
