Antonio Conte bid farewell to Tottenham Hotspur fans in an Instagram post on Monday evening.<\/p>\n
The Italian left the club the previous evening by mutual consent after his extraordinary rant a week earlier, when he criticized the players and the higher hierarchy of lacking the right spirit and motivation.<\/p>\n
His former assistant, Cristian Stellini, along with Ryan Mason will take over the wheel at the club as an interim manager until the end of the season.<\/p>\n
Despite his bitterness, Conte did show sympathy for the Spurs fans and that could have been heard in the angry rant after the 3-3 draw with Southampton. Therefore, it is no surprise that he used the opportunity to thank them on social media. Here’s what he wrote:<\/p>\n
‘Football is passion. I would like to deeply thank everyone at Spurs who appreciated and shared my passion and my intense way of living football as a coach.<\/p>\n
‘A special thought to the fans who always showed me support and appreciation, it\u2019s been unforgettable to hear them singing my name.\u2019<\/p>\n
‘Our journey together has ended, I wish you all the best for the future.’<\/p>\n
Conte spent 16 months with the club securing them a Champions League football this season after the lacklustre tenure of Nuno Espirito Santo. He looked set to book them a top 4 place again, but off-field factors seem to have deterred his relationship with the board.<\/p>\n
