An era is over. Tottenham announced today (Sunday) the termination of the position of Antonio Conte, the coach of the team, by “mutual agreement”. The highly regarded Conte criticized the team in the latest way, and now the club has chosen not to go over it in silence.
recently Conte He himself testified: “The players are not playing for something important, this is Tottenham. They don’t want pressure and tension, that’s the whole story of Tottenham. There are ten games left, but why are we fighting with this attitude? For seventh place?”.
“We are not a team, but 11 selfish players who don’t try to help and who don’t play with their heart. We have to play for the symbol and make the fans proud. We have to go up with fire in our eyes,” he added. Tottenham have not scored a goal in the two games against Milan in the Champions League, and have lost one of their last 4 games.
Conte, one of the most decorated coaches in the world, previously coached Juventus, Italy, Chelsea and Inter. He was appointed Tottenham coach in November 2021. He advanced with the team to the Champions League from fourth place, where he was eliminated in the round of 16 against Milan.
Tottenham, at the moment, is in fourth place with 49 points and two points behind Newcastle (but with two games in hand). Christian Stallini is expected to serve as interim coach until the end of the season, while Mauricio Pochettino may return as the team’s coach in the summer.
Owner Daniel Levi He said: “We need to concentrate on the fight for the Champions League. Everyone needs to excel for the fans.” Levy, it should be noted, did not refer to Conte personally.
