"He made a wrong assessment" - Massimo Brambati says Antonio Conte is considering Tottenham Hotspur exit
Former Italian international Massimo Brambati has said that Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte is considering leaving the club after disappointing recent performances.
He added that the Italian manager 'made a wrong assessment' about certain players, and is disappointed with the situation at the club.
Agent Massimo Brambati on Conte: "He’s thinking of leaving. He would like to stay at home, let’s say. I’ve heard from him; he’s disappointed with a situation he expected to be different."

The former Chelsea and Inter Milan manager expressed his disappointment after the loss against Burnley in the Premier League. He also questioned his prowess as a manager during the press conference.
As per reports, Conte called on the Tottenham board to almost place his resignation. Spurs have lost four of their last five Premier League games to find themselves struggling in eighth position in the table.
Speaking to TMW Radio, Brambati said about Conte:
“He’s thinking of leaving. He would like to stay at home, let’s say. It takes time, and maybe he realised that there’s a margin beyond which he can’t go with certain players. He made a wrong assessment. I’ve heard from him; he’s disappointed with a situation he expected to be different.”
Brambati added that Tottenham and Conte are a mismatch, so the Italian's exit appears to be the only way ahead, adding:
''This is undeniably a world-class manager and one who Tottenham need to keep happy. Everyone has known this since the moment he took the job, replacing Nuno Espirito Santo, but it would appear that, at the moment, Conte and Spurs is just a massive mismatch, and leaving does look possible.''
