Tottenham officially fires coach Antonio Conte

On its website, the North London club said that coach Antonio Conte had left the team by mutual agreement. Previously, the Italian coach helped the team qualify for the Champions League in his first season. "We thank coach Antonio Conte for his contributions and wish him all the best in the future," Tottenham stressed in the announcement.

Also according to the above announcement, Mr. Cristian Stellini was appointed as interim coach for the rest of the season, under the advice of assistant Ryan Mason.

Meanwhile, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy affirmed that the team must unite and face difficulties to achieve the best possible results. Spurs currently have 10 matches left in the Premier League to compete for a ticket to next season's Champions League.

Tottenham this season aims to compete for a place in the Top 4 of the Premier League. They are currently in 4th place with 49 points after 28 rounds, 2 points ahead of 5th-placed Newcastle, but have played 2 more matches.

According to talkSPORT, coach Antonio Conte has flown back to his home country of Italy. The Italian strategist will expire his contract with Tottenham at the end of this season.

The amount of money that coach Antonio Conte received when he was fired early by Tottenham is still a question mark. However, according to the 90min page, "The Rooster" could lose up to 15 million pounds. Meanwhile, the Express newspaper said that the coach born in 1969 only received 4 million pounds in contract compensation.

Previously, the former Juventus captain caused controversy when he made an offensive speech aimed directly at the players and the board of directors after the 3-3 draw with bottom team Southampton. He criticized the Spurs players for being unprofessional, not daring to face difficulties, and affirmed that the Tottenham team would not be able to win the title, even if they changed coaches.

The media crisis created by coach Antonio Conte is equivalent to Cristiano Ronaldo , who gave an exclusive interview with Piers Morgan to criticize Man Utd and coach Erik ten Hag before the 2022 World Cup. Immediately after the interview was fully published, Man “red” announced the unilateral termination of the contract with CR7.

According to the British press, Tottenham will contact to invite coach Julian Nagelsmann to the hot seat soon. The "Rooster" has been interested in coach Julian Nagelsmann since 2021, after they fired the "special one" Jose Mourinho. However, the 35-year-old coach accepted an invitation from Bayern Munich. Now, when coach Julian Nagelsmann was fired by the reigning Bundesliga champion, the North London team sees this as a better opportunity to own the coach born in 1987.

In addition, Spurs also have a number of backup options for the head coach position such as Frank Lampard, Patrick Vieira, Luis Enrique or Mauricio Pochettino.
