Conte upset Spurs players with 2km pre-match run

Former Tottenham boss Antonio Conte's managerial methods were the reason for his eventual dismissal.

The Italian impressed during his first season with the London club, guiding them to a top four finish.

However, Conte's methods appeared to grate the players and everyone around the club.

Per The Mail, many players were baffled by how Conte would ask them to run 2 kilometres before games.

The Italian started the season well, with 23 points from 10 games, but only managed 26 from his last 18 league matches in charge.
