Recall that Conte attacked his own players and questioned Tottenham’s mentality in an astonishing 10-minute rant, which was the latest of a series of incidents in which the manager criticised Spurs in public during his spell at the club.
Conte’s assistant Cristian Stellini, who took charge of the team while the manager was recovering from gallbladder surgery in recent weeks, had been asked to take charge until the end of the season, assisted by former Spurs midfielder and current coach Ryan Mason.
Tottenham were condemned to a 15th consecutive season without a trophy after their dismal Champions League exit to AC Milan followed defeat to Sheffield United in the FA Cup, but Conte had been allowed to try and steer Spurs towards the top four.
