Tottenham coach, Antonio Conte on Sunday left the club ‘by mutual consent’ with the team struggling to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League, the club has confirmed.
The Italian, who took over in November 2021, launched into a rant about the club before the international break following a 3-3 draw at Southampton.
He will be replaced by his assistant Cristian Stellini until the end of the season.
Conte leaves with Spurs fourth in the Premier League table, but only two points above fifth-placed Newcastle who have two games in hand on the London side in the race for Champions League qualification.
‘We have 10 Premier League games remaining and we have a fight on our hands for a Champions League place,’ Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said in a statement.
