JERMAINE JENAS finds it hard to argue with Antonio Conte’s evaluation of Tottenham’s history.
But the former Spurs midfielder believes the soon-to-depart head coach must take a large share of the blame for failing to change the narrative with his dull style.
Conte’s outburst after last Saturday’s embarrassing draw at Southampton, in which he tore into the players and questioned a long-held mental fragility, has left chairman Daniel Levy considering whether to sack him now or wait until his contract expires in the summer.
Conte is in Italy, missed yesterday’s training session and it is unclear when or if he will return to north London.
Jenas, below, thinks the squad will be split between those hurt by his comments and others revved up by the prospect of a fresh chance when he departs.
“For the players there will be bruised egos,” said Jenas, who spent eight years at the club.
