Tottenham sacks Antonio Conte as head coach
Tottenham Hotspur has parted ways with Antonio Conte as their head coach. The English Premier League club and the coach have mutually agreed to terminate their cooperation. This comes as a surprise to many football enthusiasts since Conte had only been at the club for less than five months.
Cristian Stellini replaces Conte as interim coach
For the time being, the team will be trained by the club’s previous assistant, Cristian Stellini. The Italian had already represented Conte in the latter half of the season after he went through a gallbladder operation.
Conte’s criticisms of the team and club raised concerns
Conte had recently made public his disappointment with how the club was managed and his criticism of the team. This caused speculation about his future at the club, and a possible separation was already being considered.
Tuchel considered for Tottenham before Bayern Munich hiring
Long before Thomas Tuchel was appointed coach of Bayern Munich, Tottenham considered him for the same role. According to media reports, Tuchel had been a hot candidate for the job at Tottenham.
Conclusion
The departure of the head coach and former Serie A winner, Antonio Conte, is a major blow to Tottenham in their current season. The club is currently fourth in the table, and there is a need to find a permanent head coach quickly. The possibility of Thomas Tuchel taking up the job at Tottenham seems remote after his appointment as coach of Bayern Munich.
