Antonio Conte (Reuters)
on the way out. According to Matt Lowe of the British ‘Telegraph’, Antonio Conte is expected to be sacked by Tottenham this week. The coach will not complete the season as the team’s coach, this after the 3:3 on Saturday against Southampton, the elimination from the Champions League, the disappointing results in the league, where the Spurs are on the way to losing fourth place and the straw that broke the camel’s back, his statements against the players after the last league game.
Last Saturday, the Spurs already took a 1:3 lead about fifteen minutes before the end of the match, but the Saints managed to come back from a double deficit and leave with a point. The event led to an unprecedented attack by Conte After the game when, among other things, he said about his players: “We are 11 players who step on the grass. I see selfish players who don’t want to help each other and don’t give their hearts.”
Also about the owner Daniel Levy and the spirit of the club: “Why is this? Because that’s how they got used to it here. They are not playing for anything important. They don’t want to play under pressure, it’s easy that way. This is the story of Tottenham. 20 years the owner has been here and he has not won anything, but why? The mistake is only the club’s, or any coach who stays here.”
The Italian who arrived at the club in November 2021 was supposed to finish his contract at the end of the season, but apparently this will not happen and as mentioned, he will be fired later this week. During his career, the respected coach won the Premier League and the FA Cup with Chelsea in the 2016/17 and 2017/18 seasons respectively, four Italian championships (three with Juventus and one with Inter).
