Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has called for Tottenham to put Antonio Conte “out of his misery” by sacking him following his explosive rant after Spurs’ draw against Southampton at the weekend.
A seething Antonio Conte furiously ripped into his players in his post-match press conference following Tottenham’s 3-3 draw against bottom of the table Southampton on Saturday.
The Italian refused to accept responsibility for what’s gone wrong during his time at Spurs, citing that it’s an issue that lies deeper than who manages the club.
“The club has the responsibility for the transfer market, every coach that stayed here has the responsibility. And the players? The players? Where are the players?
“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?
“You are finding an alibi, another alibi. You try to find an excuse for the players. OK, continue to do this, to find an excuse for the players. You do only this! You do only this. Excuses for the players. ‘But the players, maybe, my future, then we lost confidence, they lost spirit, they lost being a team’. Excuses. Excuses. Try to protect them every time.”
Reports since the rant have revealed that Conte has clarified his comments to the Spurs board, indicating that they were solely aimed at the players.
