JAKARTA Tottenham Hotspur is said to be sacking their manager, Antonio Conte, this week. The London club has even pocketed the name of the substitute for the Italian tactician.

The plan to dismiss came after the 53-year-old coach criticized the players and clubs after a 3-3 draw against Southampton in the Premier League England on Saturday, March 18 yesterday.

Conte said after the match that the poor result was the result of his team's selfish attitude.

We are 11 players who enter the field. I see players who are selfish, players who don't want to help each other and don't put their hearts into the game," he said after the match reported by The Sun.

Conte also made hot comments attacking the club. He admitted that he had been harboring important things at the club, but the results of the series against Southampton made him have to speak.

"Until now I've tried to hide the situation, but now it's not because I repeat I don't want to see what I've seen today," Conte said.

Everyone has to take responsibility for them. Not just the club, the manager and staff. The players have to get involved in this situation because it's time to change this situation if Tottenham wants to change?

They can change managers, many managers, but the situation cannot change. Trust me," he added.

The criticism made some Spurs players want Conte to be kicked out of the coaching chair. The club's CEO, Daniel Levy, is also getting ready to part ways with the former Chelsea coach.

The same report speculates that if the dismissal is carried out, Ryan Mason will likely be appointed to take over as caretaker until the end of the season.

So far, a number of names have begun to be linked to the team nicknamed The Lilywhite. Among them were their former coach Mauricio Pochettino, former Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel, and former Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane.

Spurs' first match after the international break is traveling to Everton's headquarters on April 3. If they lose their position in large places, it could be in danger of being shifted by other teams.

Currently Tottenham are two points ahead of Newcastle United who are fifth in the standings. However, The Magpies still have a two-match savings in hand.

Liverpool also still have a chance to catch Spurs because they fill sixth place with a collection of 42 points. The same number of points is owned by Brighton & Hove Albion who trailed in seventh place and had three matches postponed.
