Gary Neville puts Antonio Conte in his place with comments on leaving Tottenham

Gary Neville has taken aim Antonio Conte and questioned what club would even appoint the Italian if he walks away from his post as Tottenham boss.

The former Manchester United defender did not hold back in his assessment of the issues currently plaguing Spurs and their manager's demeanour, shortly after Monday night's 1-0 away win over Fulham courtesy of Harry Kane's first-half goal. The strike means the Tottenham talisman equalled Jimmy Greaves' record as the club's all-time top scorer with 266 goals.

It was a much-needed victory that Conte will hope serves as the foundation to kickstart his side's charge for a top four finish this term. Spurs currently sit three points adrift of Manchester United in fourth having played one game more than the Red Devils, but the North Londoners have won just two of their six league games since domestic football resumed following the World Cup. That has led to increased scrutiny on ex-Chelsea and Inter Milan boss Conte.
