Antonio Conte is no longer manager of Tottenham Hotspur. The English club immediately said goodbye to the Italian on Sunday, in good consultation, who recently lashed out at the club and its players.
“We still have ten league games to go and we have to fight for a place in the Champions League,” said chairman Daniel Levy at the meeting. website from Tottenham. “We all need to pull together. Everyone needs to stand up now to ensure the highest possible finish for our club and great, loyal supporters.”
Tottenham are currently fourth in the Premier League – the last place that entitles them to a Champions League ticket – and are also not competing for the league title this season. That causes murmuring among the supporters, which put Conte’s position under pressure.
Conte also failed to get far in Europe with Tottenham this season. The Spurs lost ingloriously against AC Milan in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
In the FA Cup, Tottenham was surprised by Sheffield United in the quarter-finals. As a result, the Londoners will not win a prize this season either. The Spurs won their last trophy in 2008 with the League Cup.

Conte lashed out at players and club after a draw
A week ago, Conte raged after Tottenham gave away a 1-3 lead in stoppage time in the game with Southampton (3-3). “At Spurs they are not used to playing for something important,” he said.
Conte was also critical of his players. “I see selfish players who do not want to help each other and do not play with their hearts. We are on the field with eleven players, but we are not a team.”
The 53-year-old Conte had been in charge of Tottenham since November 2021. In his first season he led his team to fourth place in the Premier League, but in a European context it went a lot less. The Spurs already stranded in the group stage of the Conference League by finishing third behind Vitesse.
After André Villas-Boas, Tim Sherwood, Mauricio Pochettino, José Mouriho and Nuno Espírito Santo, Conte is the sixth manager in a row to leave Tottenham prematurely. Cristian Stellini finishes the season with the Spurs, with Ryan Mason as an assistant.
