Tottenham have parted company with Antonio Conte after the Italian slammed his players as “selfish” after last Saturday’s 3-3 draw with Southampton.
Spurs say that Conte’s assistant, Cristian Stellini will be acting head coach for the rest of the season, with Ryan Mason assistant head coach.
Conte has departed Tottenham after 16 months in charge following an extraordinary rant against his players after they threw away a 3-1 lead at rock-bottom Southampton to cap a miserable March for the club.
It saw them dumped out of both the FA Cup and the Champions League to leave them without a trophy for another season stretching back to 2008.
Daniel Levy said in a statement: “We have 10 Premier League games remaining and we have a fight on our hands for a Champions League place. I see selfish players, I see players that don’t want to help each other and don’t put their heart [in].”
When asked to explain Tottenham’s collapse at Southampton, Conte continued: “Because they are used to it here, they are used to it. Daniel Levy has twisted the knife on yet another Tottenham manager – the fourth time in four years for the Spurs chairman.”
Antonio Conte has joined Mauricio Pochettino, Jose Mourinho and Nuno Espirito Santo on the list of managers who have tried and failed to bring Glory, Glory to Tottenham Hotspur.
And for the second time in 23 months, a caretaker will take them to the end of the season. In fact, you could copy the entire Mourinho scenario and paste it into this season.
Tottenham have a 24 percent chance of finishing in the Premier League’s top four this season, according to Opta.
Spurs are predicted to finish in sixth place at the end of the season, with just a 23.9 percent chance of finishing in the top four.
Ahead of Newcastle’s win at Nottingham Forest, after which Jamie Carragher had warned that Manchester United were being dragged back into the top-four battle, Spurs’ chance of taking a top-four berth had been rated as high as 31%.
But following a horrid weekend, in which Spurs let a two-goal lead slip late on at Southampton to draw 3-3 to spark an extraordinary outburst from then manager Conte, Opta now calculate that the two teams below them in the table – Newcastle and Liverpool – both have a higher chance of securing a spot at Europe’s top table this season, due to the two games in hand they have over Spurs.
