The inevitable outcome was no surprising at all to both parties and the English Premier League club fans. Conte has put himself in the middle of hot water with the outburst following the 3-3 draw with Southampton before the International break.

What Conte said about Spurs and the players?

The Italian manager slammed his players ‘selfish’ and not wanting to play ‘under pressure’ after letting Southampton completed a comeback despite a 3-1 lead.

“I’m not used to seeing this type of situation. I see a lot of selfish players and I don’t see a team.” Conte started his tantrum during the press conference post match.

“We are 11 players that go into the pitch. I see selfish players, I see players that don’t want to help each other and don’t put their heart [in].”

Asked to explain Tottenham’s collapse at Southampton, the former Juventus and Chelsea man continued: “Because they are used to it here, they are used to it. They don’t play for something important.

“They don’t want to play under pressure, they don’t want to play under stress. It is easy in this way. Tottenham’s story is this.

“Twenty years there is the owner and they never won something – but why? The fault is only for the club, or for every manager that stay here.”

Conte departed

The 53-year-old manager was under the contract before being axed by Spurs. Conte departed by the club after 16 months in charge, which summarized a miserable month.

Spurs was dumped out of all competitions and now only had the top four as the main target of the season, which would 100% ends without a trophy.
