Antonio Conte's managerial methods may have helped lift Spurs to a fourth place finish last season, but things turned sour in his first full season at the helm with his pre-match runs one particular sticking point.
Former Chelsea and Inter Milan boss Conte left Spurs by mutual consent with the team still in the top four, but under significant pressure from the teams below them. The Italian had hit out at his squad after their last game, a draw at Southampton, and was already expected not to renew his contract before chairman Daniel Levy decided to make a change.
Since Conte's dismissal, details of the final days of his reign have begun to come to light. Now, it has been claimed a poor relationship with players extended to those within his squad being afraid to question the man in the dugout.
