Antonio Conte has thanked Tottenham's fans for their "support and appreciation", while also saying he welcomed those at the club who shared his passion for football.
The Italian, 53, left by mutual consent on Sunday after 16 months in charge, his exit coming following a furious post-match interview on 19 March.
On Instagram, Conte said the fans had always given him vocal support.
He wrote: "Our journey together has ended, I wish you all the best."
Conte called the Spurs players "selfish" and was stinging in his criticism of the club's culture after his side squandered a two-goal lead as they drew 3-3 at Southampton before the international break.
His former assistant Cristian Stellini will step up as head coach for the rest of the season, with former midfielder Ryan Mason his deputy.
Conte added: "Football is passion. I would like to deeply thank everyone at Spurs who appreciated and shared my passion and my intense way of living football as a coach.
"A special thought to the fans who always showed me support and appreciation, it's been unforgettable to hear them singing my name."
