Tottenham boss Antonio Conte says there were reasons for Nuno’s demise.
Conte claimed his predecessor Nuno was sacked after just four months because his players were ‘too emotional’ and not fit enough.
He said: “I’ve seen in a few days that we need to work a lot to improve many aspects — for every single player, not only one, two or three.
“This squad has to work to improve their physical condition, to go into my idea of football, to have more order on the pitch and to not be so emotional during the game, to improve their capacity to suffer.
“We have to improve many aspects. For this reason, Tottenham decided to change something. Because when the situation is not good, usually the coach pays for this.”
