Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has unleashed a nuclear bomb onto the Premier League world after a new interview with Sky Sport Italia was released.
As per BBC Sport, the Spurs coach had plenty to say in a tell-all interview about how the north London club are run, with Conte openly criticising the business Tottenham did in the January window.
As well as their transfer business, Conte expressed in the interview his disappointment in the club not looking to sign experienced players, with Tottenham more eager to sign prospects who can develop at the club.
As you can expect, Conte’s comments were widely publicised last night, with the full interview now out. And Tottenham fans were torn with what their manager had to say about the state of their club.
Yet one quote that seemed to stick out for Tottenham supporters was Conte’s comments on the lack of confidence surrounding the club, with the Italian stating in that interview that the lack of success has been an issue.
Spurs have not won silverware since the 2008 League Cup, with their last major honour coming in 1991 in the form of the FA Cup. And for Conte, this lack of trophies has created an environment of low confidence.
The Tottenham manager said in the interview: “When you take on a job at a club that hasn’t had success for so long, a lack of confidence is inevitable.”
Tottenham fans laud Conte for honesty in TV interview
Whilst these comments have been slandered by some Tottenham fans, most have applauded Conte for his brutal honesty on the state of the club and what needs to be done to fix it.
The Italian is without question the biggest manager to take over at Tottenham in the Premier League, and Conte’s comments in this bombshell interview show what the club must do to please the former Inter Milan boss.
Here’s what some Tottenham fans had to say on Twitter about Conte’s interview comments on a lack of confidence in the squad…
