Son Heung-min reacts to Antonio Conte's Tottenham sacking
Tottenham forward Son Heung-min has revealed he is 'very sorry' to see head coach Antonio Conte lose his job and admitted he 'feels responsible' for his exit.
Spurs confirmed late on Sunday night that they had reached a 'mutual agreement' with Conte to part ways.
The Italian was expected to leave Tottenham after digging out his 'selfish' players in the aftermath of their 3-3 draw with Southampton prior to the March international break.
Son spoke to the media following South Korea's 2-1 loss to Uruguay on Tuesday and was asked for his thoughts on Conte's departure.
"I'm very sorry to him. He is a world class manager, we had great journey together, I thank him a lot," Son said. "I do not know how other players are thinking about him, but I'm sorry to him.
"I should have shown more but I couldn't. I couldn't help the team and I feel responsible as he left the club.
"He surely has great ability and experience as a coach and I'm sure he'll have great success in his career.
"Coming back to Spurs, I wish to finish the rest of the season in a great way with my teammates, for our club."
