What Antonio Conte said after Tottenham Hotspur sacked him with 10 games left in EPL

In a message shared on Instagram on Monday after his dismissal by Spurs, Antonio Conte expressed gratitude to the team and best wishes for the future.

Conte's firing seemed to be related to his scathing assessment of Tottenham as a team rife with failure.

While the Italian boss's statements were seen internally as going too far, he is widely known for sparring with management at the organizations for which he works.

Conte's first comments after his firing as manager of Tottenham were unfussy; in an Instagram post, the manager expressed his gratitude for the team.

Cristian Stellini will serve as Spurs' acting manager when they take on Everton on Monday.
