Antonio Conte has admitted he is going through a 'strange experience' with Tottenham Hotspur this season.
The Italian, who took over at Spurs in November, has said he has to adjust to managing a team who are not competing for the league title.
Spurs are currently eighth and seven points off of Manchester United in fourth spot, although the north London club possess three games in hand.
"In the past I always say I have to feel only one per cent the possibility to win the league," he told beIN Sports.
"For sure here the situation is strange because maybe I feel the one per cent possibility to have the ambition to finish fourth.
"The situation is different because the level of this league is very high and there is not a lot of space in this moment for other teams than the top teams.
"For this reason and because the level is high and you know every single team want to improve.
"Not only Tottenham but Arsenal, Leicester, West Ham, Aston Villa and Newcastle. Also teams like Brighton and Wolverhampton.
"They all want to improve and at the moment we have to fight with these teams and not the top teams."
