Antonio Conte has dropped his position as Tottenham Hotspur manager by mutual approval after 16 months in charge.
Remember that the Italian strategist had called Spurs players “selfish” and chastised the club’s culture in a press conference after their current draw at Southampton.
After the press conference, Spurs chairperson, Daniel Levy described Conte’s position as untenable, and has now parted ways with the Italian.
Conte’s assistant Cristian Stellini will assume the position as head coach for the rest of the season, with former midfielder Ryan Mason as his deputy.
Conte’s exit means Spurs are looking for their fourth permanent manager in four years since Mauricio Pochettino left in 2019.
Steve Cooper, Roberto De Zerbi, Olivier Glasner, Luis Enrique and recently-axed Bayern boss Julian Nagelsmann are among the coaches who could succeed Conte.
