Tottenham Crash Out of Champions League in Disappointing Loss to AC Milan
Conte's Return Fails to Inspire Victory
Tottenham Hotspur's Champions League hopes came to an end on Tuesday evening as they crashed out of the competition with a disappointing 1-0 defeat to AC Milan at the San Siro. The match marked the return of manager Antonio Conte to the dugout after he missed the weekend's Premier League defeat to Leicester City due to illness.
Milan Journalist Explains Background Including Furlanis Veto
In the build-up to the match, there had been much speculation about Conte's future at Tottenham, with some reports suggesting that he could be sacked if the team failed to qualify for the Champions League. However, a Milan-based journalist provided some background information that could shed some light on the situation.
According to the journalist, there is a veto in place that prevents Conte from being sacked by Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy. The veto was reportedly put in place by Fabio Paratici, Tottenham's former sporting director who is now with Juventus, and it means that Conte can only be sacked if both Levy and Paratici agree.
Humbled by Tottenham's Trashing at Leicester, Antonio Conte's Future Looks More Uncertain Than Ever
Despite the veto, it is clear that Conte's future at Tottenham is in doubt. The team's performance against Milan was simply not good enough, and they have now crashed out of both the Champions League and the FA Cup in the space of a week.
Conte's future will now depend on the results of Tottenham's remaining Premier League games. The team is currently fifth in the standings, but they could miss out on Champions League qualification if they fail to improve their form.
