It was only a few months ago that Antonio Conte was talking about “miracles” and celebrating Champions League qualification.
Now the spotlight is on the Tottenham boss for all the wrong reasons.
Back-to-back Premier League defeats after a solid start to the season have left third-placed Spurs five points off the top having played one game more.
They also have much-improved Newcastle, 2-1 winners at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, breathing down their neck in fourth.
Conte declined the chance to speak about Newcastle’s contentious opening goal, choosing to use his post-match interview to seemingly send a message to Tottenham’s board.
“We need time and patience and, also for sure, money,” Conte told BBC Radio 5 live while answering questions about Tottenham’s third defeat in five Premier League games.
