The long-running uncomfortable marriage is done and with that, the worst-kept secret in elite football is out. Tottenham Hotspur announced on Monday that Antonio Conte has left the club by mutual agreement. This might also be the first time in Conte’s tenure that he and the club have agreed on something.
