Conte lost his third consecutive league game on Sunday for the first time since his days at Atalanta in 2009.
Champions League qualification is ‘impossible’ for Tottenham Hotspur based on their current form, according to manager Antonio Conte.
Spurs suffered a third Premier League defeat in a row on Sunday as Wolves edged them 2-0 in north London. The loss caused Conte’s men to slip a point behind the Wanderers in eighth in the standings, and five points behind fourth-placed West Ham for the final Champions League spot.
That said, Tottenham – as well as sixth-placed Arsenal – have three games in hand over the Hammers.
Can Spurs finish in the top-four?
But Conte is feeling less than upbeat about the club’s European prospects as things stand.
“When you lose two games at home and against Chelsea, for a team that wants to qualify for the Champions League, it’s impossible to happen,” the Tottenham boss told Sky Sports on Sunday.
“We know we have to fight to build something important with the situation but it’s important to know the situation. Maybe our fans shouldn’t be disappointed with the defeat, instead, they should try and push us and stay behind us.
“The players need to find the right atmosphere and feel no pressure about a target that in this moment you can’t reach. I’ve been saying this since my arrival.”
Tottenham next face Premier League leaders Manchester City this Saturday.
