Italian coach Antonio Conte ended up on the bench of Tottenham Hotspur footballers. As reported by the London club, he parted ways with the 53-year-old coach by mutual agreement.
Conte took over the club in November 2021. After the past 3-3 draw at Southampton, he criticized his charges, calling them individualistic and unable to play under pressure. His assistant Cristian Stellini will replace him until the end of the season.
Tottenham are in fourth place in the Premier League table, but they still have a tough fight for participation in the Champions League. They are two points ahead of fifth-placed Newcastle, but Spurs have played two games more. “We have 10 games left in the league and we have a fight for a place in the Champions League. We all have to pull together. Everyone has to try to ensure the best possible result for our club and the wonderful, loyal fans.” stated in a statement the chairman of the club Daniel Levy.
Stellini has already deputized for Conte this season while the Italian coach was recovering from gallbladder surgery. His assistant will be the club’s former midfielder Ryan Mason.
