Ammon News - Antonio Conte could be sacked as Tottenham manager this week and just days after his remarkable outburst, with the Premier League club already in the market for a replacement, British media reports have claimed.

Conte, who took charge at Tottenham in November 2021, led the club to a top-four finish and qualification for the Champions League, but his first full season has been fraught with problems, despite Spurs sitting fourth in the table.

The Italian's contract expires at the end of the season and it has become increasingly clear in recent weeks that he will not extend his stay in North London. The tensions between manager and club – or more recently his players – reached a new level on Saturday when Conte launched an astonishing tirade after Tottenham drew 3-3 at Southampton having held a 3-1 lead with 13 minutes remaining.

Conte accused his players of being "selfish" and unwilling to play "under pressure", before appearing to turn on the club when he said: "Tottenham’s story is this. 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 stays here? I have seen the managers that Tottenham had on the bench.

“You risk to disrupt the figure of the manager and to protect the other situation in every moment. Until now I try to hide the situation but now, no because I repeat, I don’t want to see what I have seen today because this is unacceptable and also unacceptable for the fans."

Conte has reportedly since spoken to chairman Daniel Levy and insisted the criticism was aimed directly at the players and not at the club, although reports claim Levy held a video call on Monday with key club figures to assess the situation and is aware of the damage caused by Conte's rant.
