HEAD COACH Antonio Conte has departed Tottenham along with his brother Gianluca, but the rest of the Italian's staff have remained at the club.

Mason was interim Head Coach for the final seven games of last season and had stayed on as first-team coach under Conte. Stellini has taken over as interim Head Coach to the end of the season, with Ryan Mason as his deputy. Coratti and Bruno will also stay for the remainder of this season.

Antonio Conte plans to recharge his batteries at home in Italy after Spurs split and his next job will be in Serie A... the firebrand coach would be the perfect ...

Inter, Milan, Juventus and above all Roma are thinking of him. We must quickly forget the figure of Conte as Superman capable of fixing all things. the firebrand coach would be the perfect successor for Jose Mourinho at Roma or he could resume his Juventus love affair Conte has returned to live in his historic Turin home and will surround himself with family and probably until June will be the main spectator of the Italian championship. Every man learns something from every experience and this adventure at the helm of Spurs has made it clear how Conte must be less demanding of himself and of the team in order to live his job as a coach serenely. The termination of his contract is a defeat for everyone - for the club and then coach, unable to manage a team built through his indications but denied in the last press conference through a direct attack on individual players.

Whoever comes in needs clarity and a chance to lan for the long term. Every manager has talked about a weakness in the dressing room. However, Stellini is liked by the players and if it was an English coaching set-up it would hardly be seen as unusual for a coach to take over in temporary charge after the manager had been sacked. They have got their sights set high with the likes of Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique. Mauricio Pochettino would be the emotional choice. Levy was aware of the risks. Stellini took temporary charge when Conte needed extra time off to recover from emergency gallbladder surgery. And entrusting the responsibility of finishing in the top four to the right hand man of the manager they have just sacked seems incredibly bizarre.

Spurs have parted with Antonio Conte and the inside stories on the Italian's demise have been revealed, from bored players to an annoyed academy and more.

Tottenham have decided against a complete overhaul of their staff, reportedly only sacking Gianluca Conte along with head coach Antonio Conte.

WHAT NEXT FOR THE CONTE BROTHERS? Who is the best No.9 in the world? Liverpool, Brighton and Brentford are also in the picture for the last Champions League place, though they are each seven points behind Tottenham.

Antonio Conte has long been regarded as one of the best coaches in the world but the manner of his sacking at Spurs does not reflect well on the Italian.

His request was belatedly granted on Sunday night. By blaming everyone bar himself for the club's culture of failure, the Italian effectively asked to be sacked. To say it had been coming would be a massive understatement.

The former Bayern Munich manager is expected to have his pick of options soon.

As much as a manager might want to re-shape a club, he might only run into the brick wall that is their institutional pattern. Or they could watch Arsenal, [Manchester United](https://thebusbybabe.sbnation.com), and [Newcastle](https://cominghomenewcastle.sbnation.com) continue to rise while floundering through a conveyer belt of ho-hum, oft-abandoned projects. But as much as Bayern might try to get a coach to fit into what they do, they’d do well to remember: that sometimes, patterns repeat. And do they have the same assembly of sizzling play-making 8s to dance in Nagelsmann’s favored half-spaces? On the other hand: Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, Dejan Kulusevski, and Richarlison make for a tantalizing set of attackers. Maybe pressure is different in the Premier League, but he should be expected to modernize the sporting product and deliver a fresh injection of innovative ideas.

Or does the present midfield composition of Oliver Skipp and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg lend itself more to a double pivot than a 3+1 structure in possession? Conte has departed mid-season (by mutual consent) with Spurs hanging on precariously to fourth place in the EPL table. Nagelsmann is expected to have lots of options, and Tottenham is an intriguing one. Could the German manager be headed across the channel to give it the old English try? Tottenham have been through the ringer since they sacked Mauricio Pochettino.

Martin Keown thinks Arsenal "played a part" in Antonio Conte's sacking at Tottenham with the Gunners miles ahead of their rivals.

When you hire Antonio Conte the trajectory is clear: trophies then turmoil. Except at Spurs, where he skipped the first bit. Here's why he left.

[Tottenham](https://talksport.com/sport/football/team/113181/tottenham-hotspur/) were regularly accused of making a slow start in matches under Conte, while others suggested that his players looked ‘tired’ or ‘leggy’ throughput. Conte also had a habit of moving the scheduled start times of training sessions, moving their session post-Sporting Lisbon away from 2pm to 11am, a decision that didn’t go down well given that they’d only arrived back in the UK that morning. With results and performances since not up to the required level by fans and the board, Conte had called an emergency meeting at the end of January to get to the bottom of their wretched form.

As Italian soccer manager Antonio Conte said before his supposedly amicable divorce from Tottenham Hotspur, not much will change unless there is ...

As Conte said, without the elephant in the room being addressed, the situation will remain the same perpetually. The euphoria was similar when the ANC ascended to power in post-apartheid South Africa. Instead of developing a feeling of a team, empathy, ‘I do for you, you do for me’, ‘I win if I play 90 minutes, I win if I am in the stands’… Pochettino is now being linked with a possible return to the club. In fact, under a microscope, Spurs and South Africa are not too dissimilar. But he was axed just six days before the match was played, in another bizarre decision by the club’s hierarchy. They won the League Cup in 2008, under the guidance of Spaniard Juande Ramos. Outspoken like Conte, he led the team to the League Cup final in 2020/21. By contrast, the Gunners had done some introspection and are currently leading the race for this season’s Premier League title. Heading into that fateful draw in their last outing, Spurs were already out of all cup competitions this season. They don’t want to play under pressure, they don’t want to play under stress.” As it stands, they remain fourth on the table.

Tottenham forward Dejan Kulusevski insisted that he and his fellow players "stand behind" the club's decision to part ways with Antonio Conte.

[Telegraph Sport](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/dejan-kulusevski-tottenham-players-back-decision-to-sack-antonio-conte-b1070421.html) write that this isn't the case with most of the squad, however, who were reportedly pleased with the sacking - perhaps evidenced by [Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's reaction to his tirade](https://www.goal.com/en/news/antonio-conte-explain-himself-tottenham-midfielder-pierre-emile-hojbjerg-controversial-comments/bltdd934fa6f318bbd3) - having grown tired of the Italian's repetitive training sessions.

Now the club made this decision because they think it is the best and we players stand behind that." Whoever is the coach, we players will always accept and play for him and for everyone else. The decision came after he lashed out his own players, as well as the club's [perceived lack of winning mentality](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/spurs-specialists-failure-antonio-conte-reputation-messi-managers-tarnished/blt0a26e6078eb4201a), following a dismal 3-3 draw to Premier League strugglers Southampton.
