Richarlison: Tottenham Striker Hits Out at Claims He Was Part of Mutiny Against Conte

• Antonio Conte left Tottenham Hotspur on mutual consent after 16 months in charge
• The Italian damaged many relationships publicly with his rant after his final game
• Conte and Richarlison had a clash of words after the UCL elimination by AC Milan

Antonio Conte is a reputably hot-headed manager who has clashed with the hierarchy at almost all clubs he has managed, and the manner of his departure from Tottenham Hotspur proves this.

His explosive rant after Spurs surrendered a 3-1 lead in the final minutes of the draw against relegation-threatened Southampton was to be expected and probably the final straw for his bosses.

Conte was due to be out of a job in North London by the end of the season anyway, but it was mutually agreed he be relieved of his duties due to the damaged relationship between him, the board, and some of his players.
