Antonio Conte has clarified to the Tottenham board that his furious outburst was aimed purely at the players and not the owner or the chairman.
It is business as usual at Tottenham despite an extraordinary rant in which Conte called his Spurs players "selfish" after his side threw away a two-goal lead at bottom side Southampton
He also appeared to attack the club's ownership but it is understood Conte's clarification to the board pointed out he asked why only the club and managers take responsibility for not winning while the players get "alibis".
Players and staff are currently on a pre-scheduled two days off and will report back to the training ground on Tuesday, which would have been the case regardless of the result.
There has been no public reaction from the players in response to Conte's comments as yet, with Cristian Romero and Pedro Porro the only players to have posted on social media since the outburst
