Tottenham chairman Levy leaning towards Conte sack

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is close to sacking manager Antonio Conte.

The Italian laid into the entire club after his side's 3-3 draw against Southampton at the weekend.

Conte accused Spurs of not having a winning mentality, referencing that they have barely won any trophies in the past 20 years.

"They don't want to play under pressure, they don't want to play under stress," Conte said after the draw at St Mary's.

"It is easy in this way. Tottenham's story is this. 20 years there is the owner and they never won something, but why?"

Per The Telegraph, Spurs chairman Levy is now close to pulling the plug on Conte's time at the club.

Given there is an international break, it may be the ideal time for Spurs to install a caretaker to the end of the season.
