Antonio Conte

Tottenham Hotspur says it has parted with manager Antonio Conte "by mutual agreement" less than two years after he took over at the English Premier League ...

However the club last won a top-English title over half a century ago. I have seen the managers that Tottenham had on the bench.” When you are not a team you cannot improve.” “I think it’s better to go into the problem, we are not a team. “Tottenham’s story is this. “We all need to pull together.

The Italian manager's time with Spurs has come to an end after a tumultuous 16 months with the club.

Tottenham sacked Antonio Conte as manager of the club on Sunday, with a familiar face coming in to replace him for the season's end.

However, it is an opportunity for him to prove himself among the candidates Spurs may want to hire in the summer. The manager that oversaw Tottenham instead of Conte was Cristian Stellini, the same person who will work as manager for the remainder of the 2022/23 campaign. Stellini faces a tall task of keeping Spurs in the UEFA Champions League race. However, that was during the time where Conte was away from the club due to health issues. At one point in the season, Tottenham was surging towards success. That is not the only measure of disappointment this season for Tottenham. In addition to an up-and-down league campaign, Spurs are now out of every cup competition. Yet, the gap the club holds is no more than seven points. Just before the international break,

The culture at the club doesn’t seem to be right in terms of being a winning mentality. I wouldn’t really call them signings that are going to change the culture of the club or go and win that trophy that you need. His negotiators will be talking to clubs and clubs will know the situation. All the managers must think: ‘This is a great laugh coming to Tottenham’. Every year you’re getting a new manager in and he’s probably thinking: ‘What’s the point of this?’ You need some continuity - that’s conducive to success. You’re not really in a strong position to negotiate if you’re Tottenham. If they want to really achieve it will probably be with the next owners. It’s very much controlled by Daniel Levy - he wants to make all the decisions and I think that’s always been a major problem with Tottenham. It was a completely different culture to what I’d been at with Liverpool. He can’t be speaking about the players because those players haven’t really been there that long - you can’t really blame them. If Tottenham are ever really going to achieve then that has to change. I think this is really good news for the clubs around them.

Antonio Conte's belabored but seemingly inevitable exit from Tottenham Hotspur was just that, as Spurs announced the Italian legend's exit late Sunday.

Spurs are currently in fourth place on the table with 49 points, one point behind Manchester United, but Newcastle (47 points) and Liverpool 42 points) both have two matches-in-hand on Stellini’s men. Daniel Levy, Chairman: ‘We have 10 Premier League games remaining and we have a fight on our hands for a Champions League place. “We can announce that Head Coach Antonio Conte has left the Club by mutual agreement. Everyone has to step up to ensure the highest possible finish for our Club and amazing, loyal supporters.'” See the full press conference atop this post.

The idea of playing three at the back is to make you more solid. "There are only seven teams in the league who have conceded more goals and they play a back three, with two holding midfielders. You've got to say the blame lies with the manager because of the way he sets up. In 2021 it was Ryan Mason, this time the former Spurs midfielder will act as assistant to Conte's former assistant Cristian Stellini. Bridge added: "Stellini is very popular with the players and has won games in interim charge before, but this is different now. I feel the pressure and the moment to be responsible. I, and other colleagues of mine, would ask him week after week about signing a new deal and he wouldn't really want to talk about it; he'd say this was something they'd discuss at the end of the season. They were seconds away from going third, then they gave a penalty away in the last minute and that unbelievable post-match press conference followed. Conte, whose contract was set to expire at the end of the season, told Sky Sports after the 3-3 draw: "I'm not used to seeing this type of situation. "Twenty years there is the owner and they never won something - but why?

Tottenham has been regarded as English soccer's biggest underachiever for decades and Conte failed to break the cycle of frustration and recrimination. Initially the signs were encouraging for Conte, and for Tottenham as well. Longtime Conte watchers have grown accustomed to the Italian's habit of blaming his employers for his teams' problems. To some, it appeared Conte was so fed up with Tottenham's inconsistency that his remarkable rant was an act of self-immolation designed to force his exit. But the Italian appeared to make his position less tenable with an astonishing rant at his players after Tottenham blew a two-goal lead in a damaging 3-3 draw at last place Southampton earlier this month. Conte arrived at Spurs with a well-earned reputation as a serial winner.

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.

Antonio Conte's 16-month reign as Tottenham manager has come to an end after the club announced his departure with 10 games remaining in the season.

In contrast, their record in the second period - 14 victories and a goal difference of +12 (34 goals for compared with 22 against) - is bettered only by Arsenal and Manchester City. Tottenham developed a habit of starting matches slowly in 2022-23, with just 35 per cent of their Premier League goals coming in the first half (18 out of 52) - the lowest percentage in the top flight. Over the course of his entire reign, Spurs amassed a total of 105 points, the fourth-most in the division after Manchester City (134), Arsenal (121) and Liverpool (112). The Italian saw his side score 60 goals and concede only 24 in the final 28 matches of 2021-22, compared with 52 goals for and 40 against across the same number of games in 2022-23. The Italian leads Pochettino in several other areas, including number of goals scored per game (2.00 compared with 1.84) and percentage of clean sheets (39 per cent compared with 34 per cent). Conte leaves with a better Premier League win percentage (57 per cent) than Pochettino (56 per cent) and Redknapp (49 per cent), while his points-per-game ratio (1.88) is only fractionally lower than the Argentinian (1.89).

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

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.

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?

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?

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.

In essence, that defeat accelerated the changing perception of many that Conte was part of the problem and not the solution. Conte appreciated the hard work of another right-back, [Matt Doherty](http://espnfc.com/player/_/id/43575/Matt-Doherty), in rebuilding his fitness following a knee injury and his receptiveness to instruction, but he still pushed the club internally to sign another right wing-back in the January window. [Barcelona](/soccer/team?id=83) loanee [Clement Lenglet](http://espnfc.com/player/_/id/193917/Clément-Lenglet) was not Conte's first-choice centre-back option in summer 2022, but an alternative that would not unduly stretch the club's transfer budget. Sources suggest Perisic is one the hardest workers in the gym and conducts himself with a level of professionalism in both his conditioning and his conduct which Conte hoped would serve as an example to others. During one meeting with a fringe member of the squad and his representative to discuss his lack of game-time, both were shown video footage of the dugouts during a home match. The team had drifted in that time, falling to eighth in the Premier League and the concern over such a drop in performances led Spurs to return to Conte with a reduced gap between their assessment of the squad and his. [Manchester City](/soccer/team?id=382) (19%), [Manchester United](/soccer/team?id=360) (35%) and Newcastle (27%)), but Conte's staff defended their approach by pointing out the number of late goals they scored. [World Cup](/soccer/league/_/name/FIFA.WORLD) in Qatar, preseason for the 2022-23 campaign took things to another level. Conte was reported to be more critical in his assessment of the squad, believing significant investment and a sizeable turnover within the playing squad was required. The Argentine took Spurs to a League Cup final during his first full season in 2015, the Champions League final in 2019 and in between, transformed a side aspiring to join the elite into established top-four regulars. Yet the club have been so difficult to watch for the vast majority of the season, prioritising functionality over flair in a manner fundamentally at odds with the club's "To Dare Is To Do"' mantra, that fans gradually shifted their focus to Conte. Conte does not stick around long -- the 53-year-old has never stayed for more than three years in any managerial post -- but he is a serial, bonafide winner with five league titles in Italy and England.
