Former Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has thanked fans for their "support and appreciation" after Sunday's departure.

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.

He posted to social media: "Our journey together has ended, I wish you all the best."

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."
