It appears that Tottenham is on the verge of finalizing Antonio Conte’s departure from the club this week, after he launched a scathing tirade against the team over the weekend following their 3-3 draw against Southampton.
Despite leading 3-1 with only 15 minutes left to play, Tottenham failed to secure the victory, prompting Conte’s furious reaction.
According to The Telegraph, chairman Daniel Levy has carefully considered the next steps, and it is now expected that Conte will leave before the week is over.
Once Conte’s dismissal is announced, Ryan Mason is expected to take over as the temporary coach until the end of the season.
The report suggests that Conte’s constant criticism of the club has made it impossible for him to continue in his role, and he has already left for Italy during the international break.
Conte’s post-match reactions have caused controversy, especially after Tottenham was eliminated from the Champions League by AC Milan.
With his contract ending at the end of the season, many believed that he was attempting to force the club’s hand.
He doubled down on his criticisms over the weekend, delivering a scathing attack on the club and its players.
