Antonio Conte is rocking as Tottenham manager as he launched a furious rant on Saturday night.
Conte dropped Spurs chairman Daniel Levy and his ‘selfish’ players in a stunning attack after his side lost a 3-1 lead against Southampton to draw.

Conte went into complete meltdown mode on Saturday night
The already troubled relationship the Italian had with the North London club now appears to be broken beyond repair.
Former Chelsea striker and talkSPORT host Tony Cascarino believes Conte is trying to take out as many people with him as possible.
“I don’t think he cares because he’s in a very privileged position because he’s made a lot of money as a manager,” he told Weekend Sports Breakfast.
“He thinks ‘if I go down, I take some with me’.
“He will definitely take some with him. This is not a manager who fears dismissal. Financially, he is solid and will go find another job.
“He will get another top job.”

Spurs are still fourth, but lost two points to Southampton
“I felt it was real frustration on his part because they conceded two goals late. I think he imploded because of that.
“You lead 3-1 and you were quite comfortable and they had a few injuries, and they tried to see the game and they couldn’t.
“I think they are so angry because they couldn’t see the game.”
Cascarino added: “Tottenham are a basket case of a club. You have a guy who has managed 20+ goals six times.
“It’s a really strange dynamic to see how this club implodes and does so on a regular basis.”
talkSPORT’s chief football correspondent Alex Crook believes the Italian must bear some of the blame for the club’s failure to win silverware.

Conte may not be Tottenham manager for a long time
He said: “Antonio Conte, the way he’s been talking for a while now, it’s almost like he’s doing Tottenham a favour.
“He’s this winning machine manager who stooped to take charge of a club like Tottenham, who never win anything.
“He said ‘I’m not used to that, I’m not used to finishing seventh or eighth’. He knew the background when he took a very well paid job, he knew the mandate was to at least qualify for the Champions League and win a trophy.
“Let’s look at some of the reasons why they’re not competing for trophies, they managed to lose in two legs against a very poor AC Milan side.
“It was a tie they should have won, it was on Conte, then he made a weird change. Sacrifices a striker when he needs a goal to stay in the Champions League.
“It’s not about the players, it’s about the manager.
“They lost in the FA Cup to a Sheffield United side who were more interested in their own promotion aspirations than really progressing in the competition.
“He leaves out Harry Kane and loses another route to a trophy. Conte is far from blameless in all of this.
