Tottenham striker Richarlison has hit out at reports claiming that he was a "mutiny leader" that led to the exit of former head coach Antonio Conte. The Italian was dismissed from his post with the Lilywhites earlier this week as his reign turned sour after nearly 18-months in charge.
The style of play, results and uncertainty over his future all played a huge part in the discontent at the north London club, reaching breaking point after a 3-3 draw with Southampton. Conte went on an astonishing rant shortly after the game, labelling his players as "selfish".
He was then given his marching orders in the international break, releasing a statement that said: "Football is passion. I would like to deeply thank everyone at Spurs who appreciated and shared my passion and my intense way of living football as a coach.
