Head coach Antonio Conte suggests that he is open to leaving Tottenham Hotspur after his side lose 1-0 at Burnley on Wednesday night.

Head coach Antonio Conte has suggested that he is willing to walk away from Tottenham Hotspur after they suffered a 1-0 defeat at Burnley.

Four days on from defeating Premier League leaders Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, Spurs returned to the North West to lose at the relegation-threatened Clarets.

While Spurs remain seven points adrift of the top four, Conte feels that the club are not improving, nor do they look like a team capable of qualifying for the Champions League.

The Italian is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "In the last five games we've lost four. This is reality. Not the performance. We lost four of the last five, nobody deserves this situation, this is the reality. I came in to try to improve the situation but maybe in this moment, I don't know. I'm not so good to improve it. It is very frustrating. Working hard, working a lot and trying to get out the best of players. Too honest to close my eyes.

"In the last five games, we are playing like we are in relegation this is the reality, maybe there is something wrong, I want to take responsibility, if I have that, I'm open for every decision, I want to help Tottenham from first day I arrive. Also to take my salary. It is not right at this moment.

"We are working a lot, we are working hard, I think we are doing everything to try to improve but it's not enough, very frustrating. First time in my life, four defeats in five. Maybe I am not so good.

"Tottenham called me to improve but I'm honest and I can't close my eyes. I want to finish my season. I hate to lose, we lost four in last five games, This is unacceptable. I won't accept it. I want to try to move the situation. Maybe we have to take more attention and we can finish when I arrive here in same position."

Since his arrival in November, Conte has won 11 of his 21 matches in charge of Spurs, suffering seven defeats.
