Tottenham sack manager Antonio Conte following post-Saints rant

Tottenham Hotspur have sacked manager Antonio Conte following a postmatch rant on March 18 in which he criticised the club's players, owner and winning mentality, the club announced.

His dismissal comes following Spurs' 3-3 draw against the Premier League's bottom side Southampton before they international break -- in which they had led 3-1 -- and after disappointing exits from the FA Cup and Champions League against Sheffield United and AC Milan respectively.

Following their draw with Southampton on Saturday, Conte criticised Tottenham's players, labelling the squad "selfish" as they failed to hold onto their two-goal lead late in the game before aiming a dig at the club's ownership over their lack of trophies.
