English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur and coach Antonio Conte have parted ways. As the football club from London announced, the cooperation was terminated "by mutual agreement".

For the time being, the team currently fourth in the table will be coached by the previous assistant Cristian Stellini, who represented his Italian compatriot Conte in the second half of the season after a gallbladder operation. Conte had recently caused a stir with criticism of the team and club. A possible separation was already in the offing.

According to media reports, before Thomas Tuchel was hired as the new coach at Bayern Munich, the German was a hot candidate for the coaching position at Tottenham.
