Football fans have taken to social media with varying reactions to Antonio Conte’s recent explosive comments on the Tottenham Hotspur job.

The North London club has had a wave of varying emotions over the past few days, from upsetting Manchester City to blow the title race wide open to losing 1-0 to a struggling Burnley on Wednesday, February 23.

At the final whistle on Wednesday, a distraught Conte was seen walking down the tunnel on his own.

When he re-emerged or media duties, the 52-year old refused to talk about the game, instead opening up on his current plight at the club.

“Not used to this”

"I came here to help the club and if the problem could be the coach I'm ready to go, no problem,” he said.

"I am not used to this situation. I am trying everything but the situation is not changing," added the Italian. "I am available and open with the club to do what the club wants.”

Conte has been in charge of 22 games as Tottenham boss since taking over from Nuno Espirito Santo in late 2021.

His run of four defeats in his last five games is his worst record in his managerial career, and it leaves Spurs in eighth place, seven points adrift of a top four place.

Fans’ reaction

Fans took to social media to react to Conte’s latest sentiments, as sections sympathized with the Italian for his current situation.

'Conte's basically saying "sack me please" to Spurs board.' One said.

'Over in North London…..Conte’s fully pleading for the sack. Priceless.'

“Looks like Spurs finally broke Conte,” another Twitter user said.

‘Spurs squad weakened’

As reported by Sports Brief, Conte last week boldly declared that he failed to comprehend Tottenham’s transfer policy after the club allowed four players to leave in the January transfer window.

While the North London club brought in Juventus pair Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur, the club let Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso leave on loan.

Delle Ali also moved to Everton on a permanent transfer, while Bryan Gil secured a loan move to Valencia.
