Antonio Conte, goodbye to Tottenham after rant

Post-Southampton outburst reportedly created an irremediable rift between Antonio Conte and Tottenham players

Antonio Conte and Tottenham will part ways in the coming days: according to reports in The Telegraph, the rift between the Lecce coach and the team has reportedly become irremediable after the former Inter coach’s rant following the home draw against Southampton.

Conte had harshly attacked his players, accusing them of having poor mentality and selfishness: “We are not a team, we are just 11 players who take the field. I see selfish players, players who do not want to help each other and do not put their heart into it. Before today I tried to hide the situation and improve the situation with words. What do we have to fight for? For seventh or eighth place? I am not used to fighting for that, they may change the coach, many coaches, but the situation cannot change.”

Words that have infuriated the veterans of the locker room: a situation that is now untenable, which would have pushed President Levy to choose the option of an immediate farewell of the Salento coach, hoping to provoke a reaction from the team, still in the midst of the race for the next Champions League. Tottenham at the moment denies the rumors: in the coming days the situation will be clearer.
