Tottenham Hotspur said that Antonio Conte is no longer the club’s head coach. This means that the club is once again without a permanent manager.
The Italian manager’s departure came after his team blew a 3-1 lead in the final 15 minutes of their Premier League match against Southampton over the weekend.
This latest setback puts further pressure on Tottenham’s hopes of finishing in the top four of the Premier League table this season.
Conte had only been in the job since November 2021, but had already made his mark on the club, leading them to the final of the EFL Cup, where they lost to Chelsea.
However, despite his initial success, the 53-year-old’s relationship with the club’s hierarchy quickly soured.
According to The Telegraph, sources believed that Conte’s comments at St. Mary’s made it almost impossible for him to continue in the job for the rest of the season.
In the aftermath of the game, the Italian coach launched a scathing critique of his team, saying that they lacked “courage, personality, and heart.”
This did not sit well with Tottenham’s board, which was already unhappy with the team’s lack of progress under Conte.
The Athletic had said before that Conte was going to leave when his contract ran out at the end of the season.
However, his exit has now been announced, and Tottenham finds themselves once again looking for a new head coach.
In the meantime, Cristian Stellini will take charge as interim head coach until the end of the season, with Ryan Mason serving as his assistant.
This is not the first time that Mason has been called upon to step in as an interim manager, having done so briefly in 2019 following the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino.
Tottenham’s chairman, Daniel Levy, was said to have sought the advice of some of his most trusted allies before coming to his decision, which has resulted in yet another managerial search for the club.
This latest move comes amid reports that Levy has been considering a shake-up of the club’s leadership structure, which could see a director of football appointed to oversee the club’s transfer strategy.
Tottenham’s struggles this season have been well documented.
Despite making some high-profile signings in the summer transfer window, the team has failed to gel on the pitch, leading to a series of poor performances and disappointing results.
With just 10 games left to play in the Premier League season, Tottenham finds themselves in fifth place, two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
When Antonio Conte took over at Tottenham Hotspur in November 2021, the club’s morale was on the floor, and he departs with the mood in a similar manner.
There has not been a bigger disconnect between many supporters and those in charge in arguably the 20-year tenure of ENIC, and they must get this next appointment right.
Spurs have tried being a Poundland Chelsea and also attempting quick wins with the likes of Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte.
They must back the next manager to the hilt and also live up to the reneged promise of going back to their DNA. It looks like another ‘project’ is on the cards for the club.
In the end, the news that Antonio Conte has left his job as head coach at Tottenham has surprised a lot of people. While the Italian manager’s tenure was brief, his impact on the club was significant.
With a new interim head coach in place and another managerial search underway, Tottenham’s fans will be hoping that the club can finally find the stability and success they crave.
