Antonio Conte has left Tottenham ‘by mutual agreement’ after 16 months in charge, the Premier League club announced on Sunday. His departure comes after the Italian’s extraordinary post-match rant following a 3-3 draw at Southampton on March 18, a game in which they blew a 3-1 lead. The 53-year-old, who took over in November 2021, will be replaced by his assistant Cristian Stellini until the end of the season. ‘We can announce that head coach Antonio Conte has left the club by mutual agreement,’ a club statement read. ‘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.’ Spurs chairman Daniel Levy added: ‘We have 10 Premier League games remaining and we have a fight on our hands for a Champions League place.
