Gary Neville believes Tottenham Hotspur should keep Antonio Conte in place to do the job he was hired to do - and help them secure Champions League football next season.

Following Spurs 3-3 draw to Southampton on Saturday, the 53-year-old Italian boss launched into an astonishing tirade hitting out at the mentality of the players, and questioning what those in higher management at the club had done for two decades.

Question marks have been hanging over Conte's future at the club, with his contract due to expire at the end of the current campaign, but his comments have led some to believe that his exit from the club is imminent. 

Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher said the Italian should be sacked by the Tottenham board for his furious rant, saying that his position in north London was 'untenable'. 

But his colleague Gary Neville has come out to claim that Spurs have to keep Conte in place so that he can fix their problems, without just jettisoning him from the hotseat.
