‘This season has been s***’ – Richarlison launches savage attack on Antonio Conte after Tottenham’s Champions League KO
RICHARLISON has slammed Antonio Conte after Tottenham were dumped out of the Champions League.
Spurs failed to score over two legs against AC Milan and lost 1-0 on aggregate.
Richarlison was brought on with 20 minutes to go but failed to make an impact on the match, with Tottenham managing just two shots on target.
The Brazilian fumed at Conte after the match, complaining he has not been picked regularly enough even when he is playing well.
Richarlison told TNT Sport: “I’m honest, this season has been s***. I want to play.
“I didn’t understand [Conte’s choices]. I was in positive moment… and Conte put me on the bench again. Yesterday he tested me in the starting XI and then… bench, again”.
Spurs fans turned on Conte on Wednesday night and booed his side off at half-time and again after the final whistle.
Some supporters even began singing the name of former manager Mauricio Pochettino, who they want to take over from the Italian.
A video posted on social media showed them singing: “He’s magic, you know, Mauricio Pochettino.”
Conte was uncertain about his future when asked last night, admitting he may not see out the rest of the season.

He said: “My contract expires in June.
“We will see — they might sack me even before the end of the season, who knows, maybe they are disappointed.”
