It's official: Antonio Conte is no longer Tottenham coach

English football club Tottenham announced on Sunday the departure, "by mutual agreement", of Italian coach Antonio Conte, a 'divorce' already awaited for a few weeks.

Hired in November 2021 by the London club, Conte saw his position become more fragile after the elimination in the round of 16 of the Champions League, against the Italians of AC Milan, and after openly criticizing his players following the draw ( 3-3) against the red bottom of the championship, Southampton.

Conte will be replaced on an interim basis by his assistant Cristian Stellini, who will guide the team until the end of the season.

Tottenham currently occupies fourth place in the league, in a position to qualify for the Champions League, but is only two points ahead of fifth, Newcastle, who have two games less played.
