Speculation surrounding Antonio Conte’s immediate future ramped up even further after the Italian’s extraordinary post-match rant on Saturday evening with reports suggesting he is set to leave the club in the coming days. The Spurs boss took aim at every aspect of the club during a 10-minute-long blistering monologue at St Mary's, as he gave a damning assessment of the Tottenham culture.
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. The rant came after Conte witnessed his side throw away a 3-1 advantage to draw 3-3 against the Premier League’s bottom side Southampton.
Pressure had already begun to ramp up on the Spurs manager after his side were dumped out of the Champions League and FA Cup this month. Following lacklustre defeats in both competitions, the club’s barren trophyless run, which stretches back to 2008, has been extended by another season.
