Antonio Conte is nothing if not dramatic in defeat but the Tottenham manager sounded like a man who was preparing to throw in the towel after last night’s loss at Burnley.
In an explosive post-match press conference, Conte suggested he may not be the right man for the job and said he would have to talk to chairman Daniel Levy and managing director Fabio Paratici about the “unacceptable” situation following a fourth defeat in five Premier League games – form which he warned could drag Spurs into a relegation battle.
