Antonio Conte is on the worst career run in over 12 years after Tottenham Hotspur lost 2-0 at home to Wolves, his third Premier League defeat in a row.

The former Juventus, Chelsea and Inter coach is struggling to make an impact at Spurs and his team has now slipped to eighth place in the English top flight.

Conte had not suffered three consecutive league defeats since he was on the Atalanta bench back in November 2009.

Wolves were 2-0 up within 18 minutes, as Raul Jimenez and Leander Dendoncker made the most of surprisingly poor defending and goalkeeper from a Conte squad.

The coach showed how unhappy he was by hauling off Sessegnon just 28 minutes in to introduce Dejan Kulusevski, who was signed from Juventus in January.

Rodrigo Bentancur, who also arrived from the Bianconeri in the transfer window, was given his first start in midfield.

It’s unlikely to get much better for Conte, because Tottenham’s next Premier League match is against runaway leaders Manchester City next Saturday.
