After a rollercoaster 16 months, Antonio Conte finally departed Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday night.
Last season, the Italian helped his side clinch a top-four finish and subsequent UEFA Champions League qualification ahead of local rivals Arsenal. However, this term, things have been far less rosy.
There was a feeling that Conte was becoming increasingly irritable in each press conference and his recent post-match criticism of his players after they drew 3-3 with Southampton earlier this month proved to be the final straw. The former Chelsea head coach labelled his first-team players selfish before lamenting the club itself for failing to win a trophy in the last 15 years.
