The inside story of Antonio Conte's exit from Tottenham (ESPN)

When you hire Antonio Conte the trajectory is clear: trophies then turmoil. Except at Spurs, where he skipped the first bit. Here's why he left.

In essence, that defeat accelerated the changing perception of many that Conte was part of the problem and not the solution. Conte appreciated the hard work of another right-back, [Matt Doherty](http://espnfc.com/player/_/id/43575/Matt-Doherty), in rebuilding his fitness following a knee injury and his receptiveness to instruction, but he still pushed the club internally to sign another right wing-back in the January window. [Barcelona](/soccer/team?id=83) loanee [Clement Lenglet](http://espnfc.com/player/_/id/193917/Clément-Lenglet) was not Conte's first-choice centre-back option in summer 2022, but an alternative that would not unduly stretch the club's transfer budget. Sources suggest Perisic is one the hardest workers in the gym and conducts himself with a level of professionalism in both his conditioning and his conduct which Conte hoped would serve as an example to others. During one meeting with a fringe member of the squad and his representative to discuss his lack of game-time, both were shown video footage of the dugouts during a home match. The team had drifted in that time, falling to eighth in the Premier League and the concern over such a drop in performances led Spurs to return to Conte with a reduced gap between their assessment of the squad and his. [Manchester City](/soccer/team?id=382) (19%), [Manchester United](/soccer/team?id=360) (35%) and Newcastle (27%)), but Conte's staff defended their approach by pointing out the number of late goals they scored. [World Cup](/soccer/league/_/name/FIFA.WORLD) in Qatar, preseason for the 2022-23 campaign took things to another level. Conte was reported to be more critical in his assessment of the squad, believing significant investment and a sizeable turnover within the playing squad was required. The Argentine took Spurs to a League Cup final during his first full season in 2015, the Champions League final in 2019 and in between, transformed a side aspiring to join the elite into established top-four regulars. Yet the club have been so difficult to watch for the vast majority of the season, prioritising functionality over flair in a manner fundamentally at odds with the club's "To Dare Is To Do"' mantra, that fans gradually shifted their focus to Conte. Conte does not stick around long -- the 53-year-old has never stayed for more than three years in any managerial post -- but he is a serial, bonafide winner with five league titles in Italy and England.
