Tottenham’s manager Antonio Conte has been fired as a result of his shocking outburst at club owner Daniel Levy and the team’s title record according to a new report by Goal.
The Italian tactician’s contract was set to end this summer. He was hired as Spurs’ manager in November 2021. It was decided that there was no way a successful working partnership in north London could continue, so the parties will part ways before the 2022–2023 season is over. Following a 3-3 Premier League tie with Southampton on March 18, Conte stated:
“I think it’s better to go into the problem, we are not a team. We are 11 players that go into the pitch. I see selfish players, players that don’t want to help each other and don’t put their heart [into it]. This season compared to last, now we are worse in this aspect. When you are not a team you cannot improve.”
He later went on to add: “It is easy in this way [playing without pressure or importance]. Tottenham’s story is this, 20 years there is the owner and they never won something but why? The fault is only for the club, or for every manager that stay here.”
An official statement released by Tottenham on Sunday reads: “We can announce that Head Coach Antonio Conte has left the Club by mutual agreement. We achieved Champions League qualification in Antonio’s first season at the Club. We thank Antonio for his contribution and wish him well for the future.
In a brief statement included with the news, Levy urged supporters to support the group as they work to end the campaign successfully.
The Spurs chairman added: “We have 10 Premier League games remaining and we have a fight on our hands for a Champions League place. We all need to pull together. Everyone has to step up to ensure the highest possible finish for our Club and amazing, loyal supporters.”
