Why is Antonio Conte frustrated with life at Tottenham?
The Italian cast serious doubt over his future at the club after the 1-0 Premier League defeat at Burnley.
Antonio Conte cast serious doubt over his future as Tottenham boss after the 1-0 defeat at Burnley.
Just four days after winning at Manchester City, Spurs lost for the fourth time in five games, leaving Conte questioning whether he is the right man for the job.
Here, the PA news agency takes a look at the situation.
What did Conte say?
What was he trying to achieve?
What else has he said?
In typical Conte style, he has not been shy about just what the predicament at Tottenham is. Soon after an embarrassing Europa Conference League to Slovenian minnows NS Mura he said that the level of the squad was not so high and that this was his biggest challenge. Then after a defeat to Chelsea he said his side were “in the middle” and that there was an “important gap”. Then last week, in an interview with Italian TV, he appeared to question the club’s transfer policy and said his squad had been “weakened” in the transfer market, though later said he was “disturbed” at the coverage of the interview.
