Official: Antonio Conte leaves Tottenham
Tottenham announced on Sunday evening the departure of its Italian coach Antonio Conte, who was at the end of his contract at the end of the season.
Conte will not even finish the season. Ten days after his media outburst, the Italian coach left Spurs amicably on Sunday evening. His team, eliminated from the national cups and the Champions League, is 4th in the Premier League with 10 games to go and will try to keep this position, which is synonymous with qualification for the Champions League.

It will be without Antonio Conte, who had castigated his president Daniel Levy and his players nine days ago after a 3-3 draw of Tottenham against the bottom of the table Southampton, stating that his players had been selfish and that the history of Tottenham was that of a club that for twenty years had the same owner and had not won anything.
Cristian Stellini will finish the season
"We have 10 Premier League games remaining and we have a fight on our hands for a Champions League place. We all need to pull together. Everyone has to step up to ensure the highest possible finish for our Club and amazing, loyal supporters" Daniel Levy told the Spurs website.
While several names are already associated with the bench of the London club (Nagelsmann and Pochettino in particular), Tottenham has specified in its statement that Cristian Stellini (former assistant to Conte) will finish the season on its bench, with Ryan Mason as assistant. In theory, the real successor to Conte will therefore only come this summer.
