Antonio Conte hints at one reason for Tottenham sacking amid major Jose Mourinho warning

Jose Mourinho, a fellow former manager of Tottenham, has received a stern warning from Antonio Conte, who has also hinted at one of the reasons why things did not go well for him in north London. Early in the 2021–2022 season, the Italian manager succeeded Nuno Espirito Santo. He then led Spurs to a Champions League victory over archrival Arsenal.

The deaths of two of Conte’s close friends during the next season, together with the 54-year-old’s need for emergency surgery, made it a very difficult one for him personally. Gian Piero Ventrone, a trainer for Tottenham, and Gianluca Vialli, a great of Italy, tragically passed away, and Conte had an urgent gallbladder removal.


Conte had several personal obstacles during the 2022–23 season, and his notorious outburst following Southampton’s draw against him revealed a man at the end of his rope. Following the news conference by just over a week, it was revealed that Conte and Tottenham had mutually decided to split ways.

Conte is yet to make a managerial comeback, but he recently disclosed that he rejected down a rich offer to serve as a coach in Saudi Arabia. The former Chelsea manager has now acknowledged that he would be open to managing two teams in Italy, one of which is run by Mourinho.

In an interview with Rai TV show Belve, translated by Football Italia through the Mirror, Conte remarked of Roma and Napoli, “Those are two clubs that I’d like to try for the passion fans have.” “I hope I’ll get the chance to enjoy this experience one day.After leading the Italian team to the Europa Conference League in 2022 and losing to Sevilla in the Europa League final the following year, Mourinho has just begun his third season as the team’s manager.

Roma’s season has started slowly, but given Conte’s most recent admission—which also seems to be a direct message to Tottenham—there doesn’t seem to be any prospect of his replacing his managerial opponent if he is fired. He said, “There are situations that have been created before I arrived. I don’t take jobs during the season.”

Tottenham has had an explosive start to the current Premier League season after Ange Postecoglou was named as Conte’s permanent replacement in the summer. Spurs are the table leaders after eight games and are unbeaten. They have previously defeated Manchester United and Liverpool and earned notable points against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium in the North London Derby.
