"It was all my fault" - Heung Mi Son blames himself for Antonio Conte's sack at Tottenham

Son Heung-min said that Antonio Conte's departure from Tottenham was his fault.

The South Korean attacker feels he could have given the Italian's struggling Spurs team more.

After earning the golden boot in 2021–22, the South Korean attacker has struggled this season, scoring only 10 goals and dishing out four assists in 37 appearances across all competitions.

The Premier League squad, who are in fourth place having played two more games than rivals Newcastle and Liverpool, has had an up-and-down run of form, and Heung Mi Son acknowledged that he 'couldn't assist the team' in that situation.

After delivering a dramatic news conference in which he disparaged his players as "selfish," Conte departed the team on March 26.

Son said: 'I'm very sorry to him,' he began. 'He is a World-class manager, we had great journey together, I thank him a lot. I do not know how other players are thinking about him, but I'm sorry to him."

'I should have shown more but I couldn't. I couldn't help the team and I feel responsible as he left the club.

'He surely has great ability and experience as a coach and I'm sure he'll have great success in his other career.'

Gianluca Conte, who is Conte's brother, has followed him from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

After a 3-3 draw against Southampton, the former Chelsea and Inter Milan coach gave a damning evaluation of Spurs from top to bottom.

Yet while on overseas service, Son seemed to assume a large portion of the responsibility for his old boss's departure.

As far as we know, Cristian Stellini has been named the club's interim manager till the conclusion of the current campaign.
