Tottenham part ways with Conte after outburst FMTNews FMTSports
LONDON: Tottenham Hotspur have parted ways with manager Antonio Conte, the Premier League club said on Sunday, eight days after the Italian’s furious outburst following a draw at Southampton in the Premier League when his side threw away a two-goal lead.
While still in contention for a top-four finish, Tottenham bowed out of the Champions League last 16 to AC Milan this month and went out of the FA Cup to second-tier Sheffield United.“We can announce that head coach Antonio Conte has left the club by mutual agreement. We achieved Champions League qualification in Antonio’s first season at the Club. We thank Antonio for his contribution and wish him well for the future,” Chairman Daniel Levy said in a statement.
The Champions League exit ended Tottenham’s hopes of silverware for another season and extended to 15 years their wait for a trophy, with the club’s last silverware coming in 2008 when they lifted the League Cup by beating Chelsea. A win over Nottingham Forest seemed to offer some optimism but the way Spurs allowed bottom club Southampton to snatch a draw before the international break opened old wounds and prompted an extraordinary outburst by Conte.
