After a roller coaster of a 16-month spell in charge, Antonio Conte’s time at Tottenham has come to a fiery end.
Spurs announced that the 53-year-old manager was leaving the club Sunday following a disastrous draw to last-place Southampton last week. After the match, which Tottenham gave up a 3–1 lead with less than 20 minutes to play, the Italian used his postgame press conference to lambast club ownership, players and the team’s mindset.
“They don’t play for something important. They don’t want to play under pressure, they don’t want to play under stress,” Conte said. “It is easy in this way. Tottenham’s story is this: 20 years the owner is here, and they never won something but why?”
