“We can announce that Head Coach Antonio Conte has left the Club by mutual agreement. We achieved Champions League qualification in Antonio’s first season at the Club.
“We thank Antonio for his contribution and wish him well for the future.
“Cristian Stellini will take the team as Acting Head Coach for the remainder of the season, along with Ryan Mason as Assistant Head Coach.”
Conte sack is coming a week after a rant at players and management of the club following a 3-3 Premier League against with Southampton on March 18.
Conte had said;
“I think it’s better to go into the problem, we are not a team. We are 11 players that go into the pitch. I see selfish players, players that don’t want to help each other and don’t put their heart [into it]. This season compared to last, now we are worse in this aspect. When you are not a team you cannot improve.
“It is easy in this way [playing without pressure or importance]. Tottenham’s story is this, 20 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.”
The former Chelsea coach took oversaw 76 games at Spurs before his sack and recorded 41 victories while suffering 23 defeats.
Conte guided the London club to a top-four finish last season to secure qualification for the Champions League, but was unable to end the club’s 15-year wait for major silverware.
