Richarlison: I wasn't 'mutiny leader' behind Conte's Spurs exit

Tottenham forward Richarlison has shut down rumours over his alleged part in Antonio Conte's departure and insisted he was not the "mutiny leader" behind the exit of his former manager.

Conte left Spurs on Sunday by mutual consent a week on from an extraordinary rant in which he criticised his own "selfish players" following a 3-3 draw at Southampton.

Richarlison, who was injured during the dramatic St Mary's clash, was later accused by a journalist from Argentinian broadcaster TyC Sports of giving an ultimatum to Tottenham alongside club team-mate Cristian Romero over Conte's future.

But the Brazil international rejected those allegations on Thursday.

"Questioning and criticising me as a player for my performance is part of football and I got it," Richarlison said on Twitter.
