Tottenham have confirmed that Antonio Conte has been relieved of his duties as manager just over a week after his astonishing press conference meltdown.
The Italian took aim at his squad and the culture of the club following a 3-3 draw at Southampton. Conte was always expected to leave North London at the end of this season, but chairman Daniel Levy has clearly deemed the 56-year-old's role as untenable and acted swiftly to remove him from his post.
In a short statement released on the club website late Sunday evening, Levy made clear why he felt he had little choice but to part ways with Conte at this stage of the season.
