Antonio Conte

Antonio Conte's explosive meltdown following Tottenham's draw against Southampton has reportedly left some of the squad wanting him sacked now.The Spu.

You risk to disrupt the figure of the manager and to protect the other situation in every moment. They don’t want to play under stress. They don’t want to play under pressure. [Conte](https://talksport.com/who/antonio-conte/) is only tied down in north London until the end of the season, but it remains to be seen whether he will still be in charge after the international break. The fault is only for the club, or for every manager that stay here. Twenty years there is the owner and they never won something but why?

The manager's outburst after a draw with Southampton criticised the club's lack of recent history and the squad for not wanting to play under pressure.

That was going to be a certainty at the end of the season anyway. At the same time, the uncertainty over Conte’s own future is a direct contributory factor to this. It also points to why the club’s best performance over the last four decades has been with an up-and-coming manager, rather than one who’s been at the top. That was to decipher whether the manager had actually said anything that could be construed as directly critical of the hierarchy and whether that made his job untenable. The mood in the dressing room is now described as “close to toxic”. It seemed to just become about self-preservation, in a move reminiscent of his previously bitter rival, Jose Mourinho.

Antonio Conte has lost some members of the Tottenham dressing room after brutally calling out his players in an extraordinary rant following a 3-3 draw at ...

Excuses. The players? And the players? Where are the players? "Twenty years there is the owner and they never won something but why? We will soon find out whether his explanation was accepted, with Spurs under pressure to act. [The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/21768667/tottenham-news-players-conte-sacked/) says there are a few players who want chairman Daniel Levy to act now and sack Conte during the international break. The break gives Levy and the club hierarchy time to mull over their next steps. OK, continue to do this, to find an excuse for the players. The Italian did not appear to be considering the implications when he ranted to supporters at St Mary’s Stadium on Saturday. The result sparked an angry response from Conte, who tore into the players and the club’s hierarchy in his post-match press conference. You try to find an excuse for the players.

EVERYBODY loves Antonio Conte, except Tottenham Hotspur fans. He produces more memes for social media than scoring opportunities for Harry Kane.

Just because Antonio Conte is on his way out at Tottenham Hotspur, doesn't mean he's wrong. It didn't mean Mauricio Pochettino was wrong, either; ...

One trophy from a roll call of managers whose list of achievements would command several pages. One trophy this century. All were driven to distraction, eventually, by the demands of their job.

Spurs have had 11 different managers in that time since the current owners took over, including three since the 2019 departure of Mauricio Pochettino. Until now I try to hide the situation but not now because, I repeat, I don’t want to see what I have seen today because this is unacceptable and also un- acceptable for the fans’ Likewise, a few players would be content to see Conte fired during the break for international play. The Spurs coach was seething at his team’s performance and has also returned to Italy for a short break after his rant as Tottenham drew 3-3 with Southampton. When Conte was signed by Spurs, there was a lot of optimism around the club and people believed that the Italian could take the London club to the top.

If they want a project manager, then they need to listen when that man is in a strong enough position to advise that they need to accelerate the investment. For those with short memories, Pochettino spent the last 18 months of his time at Spurs calling for the same kind of quality in depth that Conte wants. Every journalist you know has genuine insight about key stories that bear no relation to what you may have seen in the public domain. If there was more money available, Conte would have extended his contract already and would be planning for the long term. But the solution is to go again. That they are even in the hunt for the top four is down to Conte - as it was last season. If they want to win now, then they have to get rid of the dead wood and invest further. But if, as a big six club, you need to send for the England captain against the Championship Blades, then you shouldn’t be aspiring for silverware anyway. His team need one man fewer in attack and one more at the back because right now, they could muck up a cup of coffee. The players want Conte out because if the club were to actually heed at least one of their coaches’ words, a good many of them would be their way. It didn't stop the backline from self-destructing to share the points, did it?

While Tottenham are just about still in the top four, they went out of the League Cup, the FA Cup, and the Champions League without barely throwing a punch. “I have seen the managers that Tottenham had on the bench. The fault is only for the club, or for every manager that stays here? As well as his players, the fiery Italian also appeared to hit out at Spurs owner Joe Lewis and club chairman Daniel Levy. But in the wake of the outburst, many players within his ranks are reportedly hoping he will be let go by the club before that point. The majority of Conte’s squad has departed the club for the international break, linking up with their respective nations. “They don’t play for something important,” Conte said about his players. Tottenham’s story is this.

Manager criticised team after 3-3 draw at Southampton.

If Levy wants to make a change now, at the business end of the season, he could find that other targets who are in work are out of reach. It has been noticeable that Conte has avoided criticising the chairman, Daniel Levy, who himself remains under heavy fire from the support; they point to the club having won only the 2008 Carling Cup on his 22-year watch. The Italian made a typically dramatic move on Saturday after the late capitulation at Southampton, when the team surrendered a 3-1 lead to draw 3-3, placing a dent in their top‑four hopes – the target for the remainder of the season.

"Conte wants to be sacked in this international break," the former Liverpool defender tweeted. The Italian’s contract at the club expires this summer, but he appears intent on Tottenham’s collapse at St Mary’s seemed to take Conte’s brutally honest approach to a whole new level, as his anger only intensified with each question posed by the disbelieving journalists. Responding to the various accusations, Romero shared his love for his fellow Spurs players on social media in a not-so-discreet response. This all came after Spurs let their commanding 3-1 advantage against the Premier League’s bottom side Southampton slip with just 15 minutes to play. He chose to defend his teammates, adding they will never stop giving their all for the club.

The Italian's extraordinary rant after Saturday's 3-3 draw at St Mary's has prompted widespread calls for Tottenham to immediate end his tenure.

Tottenham have a dilemma to solve when it comes to the contract of Antonio Conte. Maybe in five years, maybe in 10 years, and now I'm going to conspire with the universe and to throw out the idea that before I die, I want to manage Tottenham again and try if possible to win one title." They follow us, pay for the ticket and to see the team another time to have this type of performance is unacceptable. "Until now I try to hide the situation but now no because I don't want to see what I have seen today because this is unacceptable and also unacceptable for the fans. We were so close to winning the right trophies, the Premier League and the Champions League. You risk to disrupt the figure of the manager and to protect the other situation in every moment. We will see — they might sack me even before the end of the season, who knows, maybe they are disappointed." Conte said: "This is not right day to speak about future but my future. 20 years there is the owner and they never won something but why?" Antonio Conte has practically all but confirmed he will leave Tottenham at the end of the season. They don't want to play under pressure, they don't want to play under stress. The Italian's future in north London looked in jeopardy after the Champions League defeat to AC Milan where he openly admitted the club may sack him.

Tottenham fans give their thoughts after boss Antonio Conte's explosive comments about his players and the Spurs hierarchy.

He is the one who is supposed to bring the best out of them. Conte knew the situation at Spurs and our problems in achieving success, which he was meant to remedy. Conte is being paid a considerable amount of money to be Spurs manager, and to publicly undermine those paying your salary is poor form. How can the players respond to him after he criticised them? Yes, many of them need replacing, but it is he who insists upon a style without a creative player in the squad, and a rigid formation with three at the back. He was always going to go at the end of the season anyway, but it now feels it could be far sooner. The stadium was not for the team but for all the other events. It requires a total overhaul of the football club from the first team down. Stef: Conte needs to point the finger at himself as well. He has attempted to protect his own reputation while throwing the players under the bus. Some of the points he raised are valid and appreciated by sections of the support - but, ultimately, Spurs have gone backwards this season. While the ownership remains as is, a boss in Pochettino's vein appears the more suitable option.

SportsBrief.com News - Antonio Conte went on a rant after Saturday's 3-3 draw with Southampton. His outburst has landed him in hot waters with the club's ...

He claimed that the words were not a criticism of the club's hierarchy but solely directed at the players. However, he was sacked six days to the 2021 Carabao Cup final, which they eventually lost to Manchester City. While some others want the Italian, who is on a short break in Italy to be sacked during the international break. He spoke his mind in a very brutal post-match interview where he slammed the players for being selfish and not showing any effort for the money they earn. [Mirror UK](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/antonio-conte-levy-tottenham-rant-29499979), the former [Juventus](https://sportsbrief.com/football/juventus/) boss was made to clarify the comments to club chairman Daniel Levy in an emergency meeting after the game. [Sun UK](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/21768667/tottenham-news-players-conte-sacked/), [Tottenham](https://sportsbrief.com/football/tottenham-hotspur/) players were left stunned by their manager's outburst and have a feeling that he won't be at the club next season.

The Spurs boss, whose contract expires at the end of the season, is in danger of becoming football's best unemployable manager.

And if he will slam it on his way out of Tottenham, his ferocious assaults on his employers will further deter anyone else from offering him an escape route. Perhaps Atletico Madrid’s acceptance of pragmatism could render him a potential replacement if Diego Simeone left but there is the risk he ends up complaining Barcelona and Real have more money. [Serie A](/topic/serie-a) is short of funds and Juventus, with their 15-point deduction, are unlikely to be in the Champions League and face an uncertain future. Luciano Spalletti has done an astonishing job on a relative shoestring and Conte’s 2021 title, after two years of heavy spending, looks unaffordable in contrast and led to a fire sale at Inter. Then there is Conte’s style of play which – perhaps outside his homeland, anyway – can give him the look of a man out of time. He has to find another club and one more suited to his particular demands and the danger is that he is making himself the best unemployable manager in football.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is yet to come to a decision as to whether he should sack Antonio Conte during the international break to allow Spurs to ...

Levy is said to be taking into account whether it will be possible for his manager to continue to motivate the team following the sharp outburst that directly criticised the players. [some of the Tottenham squad would be happy](/sport/football/article-11879623/Some-Tottenham-players-happy-Conte-MONTH-following-extraordinary-rant.html) to see the back of their manager following his comments. Due to the international break, Spurs will not play their next fixture until April 3, which will give Levy some time to deliberate over whether to keep Conte or find a replacement at least until the end of the campaign. As such, Levy is said to be discussing the matter with 'some of his closest confidents' and is yet to decide whether the manager has a future at the club. Levy is understood to be weighing up whether to sack Conte after his astonishing outburst in the wake of Tottenham's 3-3 draw at Southampton Tottenham 'are weighing up whether to sack Antonio Conte NOW', before players return from the international break, after he 'told Daniel Levy he WASN'T attacking the club or owners' in his remarkable Southampton rant

Now Levy - who has been here too many times before - and those same criticised players will decide whether there's anything left to ignite. Conte has flown back home in Italy to be with his family, as he often does on any days off. Lucas, Tanganga and the seemingly forgotten Danjuma did not get a minute of action. Much depends on whether Conte gets to that point next week. Some of the players heading straight off on international duty were driven away from Southampton in cars. However, he has in essence picked a fight with his own squad. [Conte](https://www.football.london/all-about/antonio-conte) called out the culture within Tottenham that he believes has allowed the problems to manifest themselves over the past two decades. He does not hold back in such moments. "They don't want to play under pressure, they don't want to play under stress. If he does return to the Enfield-based training complex, only Lenglet among those present played against Southampton, and the Frenchman struggled. "They are used to it here, they are used to it. You risk to disrupt the figure of the manager and to protect the other situation in every moment."

Sure, the Portland Thorns are deserving favorites at only +250 with OL Reign right behind at +350. 🔗 They don't want to play under pressure, under stress. [Antonio Conte lost his mind](https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/antonio-conte-blasts-tottenham-players-crushes-boss-daniel-levy-after-southampton-draw-we-are-not-a-team/). On Saturday, Spurs blew a two-goal lead late on to draw with Southampton 3-3. And when you win, beating your biggest rivals, on the biggest stage in dramatic fashion, it's easy to look past the rest of the disappointments. Probably not. It's hard to argue it was the wrong call, since Roberto scored Barcelona's first goal, and de Jong has started 24 domestic league matches this season, despite Barcelona trying to move him last summer to balance the books. But, despite Barcelona's young star Pedri missing through injury, Kessie, a summer signing after he left AC Milan as a free agent, didn't make the starting 11. The win now gives them a hammerlock on the league title. Let's get to it. Happy Monday everybody, and welcome to your international break.

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Even by Antonio Conte's standards, it was a remarkable outburst that leaves his position as manager at Tottenham in even greater ...

While he has been unable to deliver trophies in his 16 months at Tottenham, the conflict has come. “Spurs should just put him out of his misery and do it tonight.” They don’t want to play under stress,” Conte said Saturday. But there was always the possibility that he would grow frustrated if Tottenham could not match his own ambitions and provide him with the players to seriously challenge at the top of the Premier League. The 53-year-old coach, who has just returned to the touchline after recovering from gallbladder surgery, also said he would not “kill himself” in pursuit of success at a club that has not won a major trophy since the League Cup in 2008. “They don’t want to play under pressure.

Two managers enjoying excellent campaigns with their respective clubs are priced at 10/1 in the form of Marco Silva and Vincent Kompany. Luis Enrique is another name in the frame having most recently resigned as Spain manager after the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Second favourite is Ryan Mason, who was previously Spurs’ caretaker manager following Jose Mourinho’s sacking in 2021. This could prove an ideal opportunity for Daniel Levy to prematurely pull the plug on Conte’s Tottenham tenure. Following lacklustre defeats in both competitions, the club’s barren trophyless run, which stretches back to 2008, has been extended by another season. Although his contract expires this summer, Saturday’s remarkable outburst may leave Daniel Levy no choice but to relieve the head coach of his duties before the season reaches its conclusion.

Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte faces an uncertain future after his outburst at Southampton; the Italian branded his squad selfish following the 3-3 draw ...

Levy has more problems than Conte to solve, but he is the most immediate one and the growing feeling is that the 53-year-old will not be in post before his contract expires. In this context, it is worth remembering Spurs had a head coach who took them to a Champions League final despite injuries, stadium upheaval and zero squad investment. But by insisting his verbal volley was only lobbed in the direction of the players, Conte's rant lacks merit. The club brought in 10 recruits this season alone for a combined fee in excess of £150m. There has been disillusionment at the lack of on-pitch identity, progressive football and development of talent since the Argentine was sacked in November 2019. The staff and squad have been off for two days, a break that was pre-scheduled regardless of the result against Southampton.

He has had several approaches in the last eight months - none of which he felt were right. James Ward-Prowse sticks it in the back of the net in the 95th minute to stop Spurs going third. He didn’t look well, left again and then came back. You are appointing his brother, his coaches and so many of his backroom staff. It was a genuine world class manager and someone Spurs wanted in the summer. He’s not the kind of player Spurs would sign. The over reliance on one individual has been too much. Instead, his comments reflected what he has felt for a long time and he did not intend to attack the players or the board. He believes some players are happy to stay in their comfort zone and settle for mediocrity, no matter who is the coach. Last season Tottenham finished strongly to overtake Arsenal and this season was supposed to be one where they built on that. “When Conte was appointed, I thought it was a great appointment for Spurs. There has been no improvement in mentality, attitude and hunger.

Tottenham will consider whether to sack Antonio Conte during the international break after his outburst over the weekend, the Telegraph reports.

“At only 24 years old, the striker with 66 caps and 36 goals will wear the armband, following a dazzling World Cup and an even more assertive status as a leader. “Ten Hag is planning a summer clearout at Old Trafford, with Anthony Elanga and Anthony Martial both facing the chop - meaning investment will be needed out wide. “Mitoma's fine form and electric pace has caught the eye of bigger clubs, who have started to keep tabs on his progress. Manchester United are keeping tabs on Kaoru Mitoma, The Sun reports, with the Japan international a revelation for Brighton under Roberto De Zerbi this season and further proof of their eye for talent. Were Levy to sack Conte, then Ryan Mason would most likely be put in temporary charge until the end of the season in time for Tottenham’s next game against Everton on April 3.” Tottenham will consider whether to sack Antonio Conte during the international break after his outburst on the weekend, the Telegraph reports.

Tottenham look set to agree terms on Antonio Conte's departure from the club this week following his fiery rant attacking the club over the weekend.

With his deal up at the end of the season, many believed he was trying to force the club's hand, doing so again by doubling down at the weekend with a scathing attack on the club at board and player level. THE BIGGER PICTURE: Ryan Mason is expected to be placed in temporary charge of Spurs until the end of the season once Conte's dismissal has been agreed and announced. Tottenham’s story is this, 20 years there is the owner and they never won something but why? He later went on to add: “It is easy in this way [playing without pressure or importance].

Ryan Mason, who is on Conte’s coaching staff, would be a candidate to take caretaker charge, as he did after the sacking of José Mourinho in April 2021. According to further sources, most of them would be happy to see him go.
