Former Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has insisted he has no regrets about the way he left the club.
Conte launched into a bitter tirade against the players, executives, and the entire club last season.
He was furious with how his team blew a two-goal lead to draw 3-3 against Southampton.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Conte said about that incident: At that moment, my feeling was that. If I tell something, it means there is always something true.
No, honestly, I don't regret anything about this. But I have good feelings about Tottenham. I keep this experience in my heart."
Asked if he's too honest, Conte replied: I am this way. I hate the lies. This can help me sometimes or sometimes can hurt me. But I prefer to stay in silence than to tell a good lie - also the relationship with my players.
During the season, it can happen that you need an honest conversation that can be positive or negative. I know very well, I was a player as well and some coaches told me good lies to keep me calm. I don't want this type of situation.
I know very well when you have these honest conversations with the players, in the first moment they can be a bit angry. Then, from my experience, the time helps the player to appreciate you. They were angry, but then they appreciate the honesty."
