Conte out: Fans want Tottenham Hotspur manager fired after Sporting CP slump
Tottenham Hotspur’s disappointing 2-0 away defeat to Sporting CP has fuelled the anger of many Spurs fans who want manager Antonio Conte fired.
Heading into Tuesday’s Champions League outing against the Lions, the Londoners silenced Olympique Marseille 2-0 in their opening Group D encounter.
Against Ruben Amorim’s team, many expected the Premier League side to secure an easy win. However, they stuttered at the Estadio Jose Alvalade with Paulinho and Arthur getting late goals.
Angered by the result which could cost Spurs a place in the next round, fans have stormed social media to ask the Italians to quit his role or get axed.

Antonio Conte Out
Tottenham losing to Sporting Lisbon shouldn’t be a surprise to you with Conte’s antecedents.😅😅

So weird that Conte keeps talking about rotation yet trots out the same lineup and makes only 1 sub. Where's the rotation? Use the depth that is one of the strengths of the team #COYS

So, when is Conte getting sacked?#UCL #ChampionsLeague

Conte will be sacked soon enough, no improvements despite getting the players he needed earlier.

Other fans blamed the quality of players as the key reason for the club’s defeat in Portugal.

every spurs players need to learn how to control the ball first, their first touch is really poor
— TROPHYLOADING... (@choyaradekha) September 13, 2022
Really poor performance from Spurs, that. Not good enough from any of the players but do partly blame Conte - too stubborn with his XI. Son should have been benched for Kulu. Royal shouldn't be playing 90mins every match. And the two centre mids need more rotation. Disappointing.

Defeat leaves Tottenham Hotspur in the second position of Group D with three points from two outings so far.
They are guests of Eintracht Frankfurt in their next outing on October 4. Prior to that fixture in Germany, they take on Leicester City and Arsenal in the English top-flight.
