Too much bloodshed for Antonio Conte. Unsurprisingly, the trend of recent days was confirmed this Sunday. Daniel Levy, the president of Tottenham, has made the decision to separate from the 53-year-old Italian technician, whose contract ran until next June in north London.
« We can announce that head coach Antonio Conte has left the club by mutual agreement. We reached Champions League qualification in Antonio’s first season at the club. We thank Antonio for his contribution and wish him good luck for the future “says the Spurs press release to announce the news to everyone.
The crush too much for Antonio Conte
If Tottenham was knocked out in the knockout stages of the Champions League by AC Milan and is no longer in the race either in the FA Cup, the sporting situation of the London team was not catastrophic in the league, far from there. The Lilywhites, although threatened by Newcastle, who have two games less, occupy 4th place in the Premier League. But the draw conceded to Southampton (3-3) on March 18 before the international break (Tottenham led 3-1 with 15 minutes remaining) was the tipping point.
Because in the wake of this result as frustrating as it was disappointing on the lawn of the Premier League red lantern, and while Tottenham could temporarily climb on the podium of the classification, Antonio Conte literally cracked and knocked everything out at a press conference. Its players, its president, the Tottenham club itself… everyone took it for his rank. The former coach of Italy had in particular described his men as ” selfish and reminded that the players were only not used to playing for something important. »
Spurs’ future remains unclear
Despite a discussion with its president, during which he had notably assured that his remarks were mainly aimed at Harry Kane and his partners and not the club itself, nor its history, Antonio Conte will therefore not have survived this news. sensational media outlet. It remains to be seen what happens next for Spurs. ” Cristian Stellini will take charge of the team as interim head coach until the end of the season, and Ryan Mason as assistant head coach “Adds Tottenham in its press release.
Ryan Mason had already taken over after the departure of José Mourinho and before the arrival of Nuno Espirito Santo. For the rest, names like Mauricio Pochettino, Mickael Carrick, Brendan Rodgers, Roberto De Zerbi or Luis Enrique have since been cited by the English press as potential successors to Conte. Julian Nagelsmann, freshly fired by Bayern Munich, is also on this list.
