Antonio Conte has left his position as Tottenham Hotspur manager by mutual agreement, the Premier League club said on Sunday.
The Italian바카라s assistant, Cristian Stellini, has been appointed acting head coach for the rest of the season.
The announcement comes just over a week after Conte delivered a post-match rant in which he accused the team바카라s players of being 바카라selfish바카라 and also took aim at the club바카라s ownership.
바카라We have 10 Premier League games remaining and we have a fight on our hands for a Champions League place,바카라 Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said in a club statement released Sunday night. 바카라We all need to pull together. Everyone has to step up to ensure the highest possible finish for our Club and amazing, loyal supporters.바카라
Antonio Conte was in charge of Tottenham for 16 months but was unable to end its trophy drought stretching back to 2008.
His tenure ended in an undignified way, with his outburst after the 3-3 draw at Southampton making his departure almost inevitable. His contract was due to expire at the end of the season. The 53-year-old Conte tore into his players for what he perceived to be a poor attitude, accusing them of not playing as a team and failing to deal with pressure, before saying: 바카라20 years there is the (same) owner and they never won something.바카라
After days of speculation about his future, Tottenham confirmed his exit.
바카라We can announce that Head Coach Antonio Conte has left the Club by mutual agreement,바카라 the London club said in its statement. 바카라We achieved Champions League qualification in Antonio바카라s first season at the Club. We thank Antonio for his contribution and wish him well for the future.바카라
Conte leaves with Tottenham out of the Champions League and FA Cup, ensuring it will not win any silverware this season. But the team is in fourth place in the league and in contention to qualify for the Champions League again next season.
Tottenham Hotspur appointed former Chelsea manager as a replacement for Nuno Espirito Santo in November 2021, with the club in eighth place. He succeeded in guiding it to a top-four finish, one of only three Tottenham managers to have done so in the Premier League era.
Mauricio Pochettino achieved Champions League qualification in four consecutive seasons between 2015-16 and 2018-19, while Harry Redknapp did so twice in 2009-10 and 2011-12.
Tottenham spent about $140 million since Conte바카라s arrival, including $73.5 million on Brazil forward Richarlison. The most recent signing was Pedro Porro, a wing back bought because he suits Conte바카라s ideal 3-4-3 formation.
Conte has just returned to the touchline after recovering from gallbladder surgery and also has had to contend with personal trauma following the deaths of three close friends over the past five months 바카라 Tottenham fitness coach Gian Piero Ventrone, and former players Sinisa Mihajlovic and Gianluca Vialli.
His outburst after Southampton was surprising even for a manager who has developed a reputation for being fiery.
바카라They don바카라t want to play under pressure. They don바카라t want to play under stress,바카라 he said.
Some interpreted it as evidence he wanted to go.
바카라Conte wants to be sacked (fired) in this international break,바카라 TV commentator Jamie Carragher wrote on Twitter at the time. 바카라Spurs should just put him out of his misery and do it tonight.바카라
Stellini led Tottenham바카라s first team while Conte was recovering from his recent surgery, which included the loss to second-tier Sheffield United in the FA Cup.
Ryan Mason has been appointed as assistant head coach.
