Some of Tottenham’s players are hoping that Antonio Conte gets sacked after he threw them under the bus in an astonishing rant, it has been claimed.
Conte laid into his players during an extraordinary 10-minute evisceration following their 3-3 draw against Southampton. Spurs lead 3-1 at relegation-threatened Saints on Saturday before conceding twice, including a 93rd-minute penalty, to throw away two points.
The result sparked an angry response from Conte, who tore into the players and the club’s hierarchy in his post-match press conference. He accused the players of lacking “fight” and “desire” and looking for “excuses”, while also pointedly mentioning the club’s transfer policy.
