Conte is the second manager with a fairly decent trophy cabinet to a) leave the club less than two years after his appointment and b) claim our players don't have the right mindset. It does look like things are improving though - as unbelievable as it seems. Under Mourinho, the players downed tools against Dinamo. This time around, the performances were disappointing but the results remained fairly decent or, at least, acceptable. On the flip side, we changed half the squad in-between in the problem is yet to be solved.
There might be some truth in Conte's words that the problem lies with the club as I can't think of someone doing well at their club, coming to Spurs and then doing even better here - at least, not since Pochettino's last season.
It's typical to read posts bricking on the manager on his way out. It's not my thing, personally. The football was painful to watch at times and I grew tired of the the constant drama about his future but there's no doubt that, with the right players, Conte is a very good manager if not a top one. He's had a rough year on a personal level and it's quite possible that he only signed for us in the first place because Paratici badgered him for months. At the end of the day, results-wise, I've seen a lot worse in my time as a Spurs fan.
It's probably the best outcome for all parties but I can't help but think the club should be looking into the players' mindset when they try to sign them, rather than just the price.
