The Italian said: “I think it’s better to go into the problem, we are not a team.
“We are 11 players that go into the pitch. I see selfish players, players that don’t want to help each other and don’t put their heart [into it].
“This season compared to last, now we are worse in this aspect. When you are not a team you cannot improve.”
He then went on to add: “They don’t play for something important, yeah. They don’t want to play under pressure, they don’t want to play under stress.
“It is easy in this way. Tottenham’s story is this, 20 years there is the owner and they never won something but why? The fault is only for the club, or for every manager that stay here.
“I have seen the managers that Tottenham had on the bench. You risk to disrupt the figure of the manager and to protect the other situation in every moment.
“Until now I try to hide the situation but now, no, because I repeat I don’t want to see what I have seen today.
“Everyone has to take their responsibility. Not only the club, the manager and the staff.

“The players have to be involved in this situation because it is time to change this situation if Tottenham want to change. They can change the manager, a lot of managers, but the situation cannot change. Believe me.”
SunSport have considered five potential permanent successors including Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Tuchel and Zinedine Zidane.
