Tottenham have finally made a decision over the future of Antonio Conte as the club announced on Sunday night that the head coach has departed the club through mutual consent. It puts an end to an almost 18-month spell for the Italian that started off well but has since struggled to pick up.
Conte was first tasked with giving the north London club a chance of finishing in the top four, eventually overcoming rivals Arsenal and all the odds to do it. A whole host of signings were made during the summer, but fast forward to March and Spurs have been knocked out of all cup competitions with nothing more than a whimper.
Mixing the inconsistent results with a style of play that hadn't quite resonated with the fanbase and serial winner Conte was under pressure. There were also concerns over his future anyway, with the head coach yet to commit to a new contract despite his current deal expiring in the summer anyway.
