Tottenham part ways with Antonio Conte following a fiery outburst about the team and organization, while Cristian Stellini and Ryan Mason remain in position.

Tottenham part ways with Antonio Conte, search for new manager underway

In an announcement made by the Premier League club, Tottenham have confirmed the departure of Italian head coach, Antonio Conte. Despite taking over the reins at Spurs in November 2021 and spending 16 months in charge, Conte’s contract was due to expire at the end of the 2022/23 campaign. However, Tottenham chairman, Daniel Levy, decided to initiate the departure earlier than expected.

“We can announce that head coach Antonio Conte has left the club by mutual agreement,” stated Tottenham in their official statement. “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.”

Cristian Stellini, Tottenham’s assistant head coach, will take charge of the team as acting head coach for the remainder of the season, along with Ryan Mason.

Conte, who recently took aim at the club in a stinging rant following their draw against Southampton in March, called out his players for being “selfish” and expressed frustration over their negative culture. Despite delivering a top four finish last season, Tottenham are currently holding onto fourth place, but face fierce competition from Newcastle and Liverpool to maintain their position.

As Tottenham begin their search for a new manager, everyone involved with the club, from the players to the loyal supporters, must pull together to ensure the highest possible finish.
