Antonio Conte appears to have aimed a subtle dig at Daniel Levy, casting doubt over the ambition of staff at Tottenham. The 53-year-old parted ways with the Lilywhites in March after a fiery rant about the club proved to be the final straw.
Spurs blew a 3-1 lead against Southampton after James Ward-Prowse netted a penalty in the dying embers of the tie. Conte called his players 'unacceptable' and 'selfish', claiming that there is a rotten culture and that the club needs to 'change this situation' imminently.
"I think that it's the right moment to speak because I think that after this performance, for me this is unacceptable," said the Italian. "We are winning 3-1, in control of the game and you are able to concede two goals and to risk, because also Fraser made a fantastic save in one situation.
