Taking to Twitter, numerous journalists in the national media have been left stunned by Tottenham Hotspur news involving manager Antonio Conte.

The Lowdown: Conte slumps...

The Lilywhites' regrettable 1-0 defeat away to Burnley on Wednesday night arguably comes as the Italian's lowest point since taking charge in November.

The result was compounded because Tottenham had actually secured a huge three points away to Premier League champions Manchester City just a few days prior to their shock reverse at Turf Moor.

What followed after Spurs' disappointing trip to Lancashire was an emotional outburst courtesy of Conte, with the Italian openly hinting that he could leave the club.

Sharing that message in what is big news out of N17, there has been no shortage of reaction from various members of the English press.

The Latest: National media share Conte message...

As Conte pulls no punches in his message to Spurs after the Burnley loss, reporters far and wide have given their reaction, with some sharing their belief on what this could mean for the club.

Here's what these reporters had to say:

"Stunning stuff from Antonio Conte, questioning his own future at Tottenham after their loss to Burnley - their fourth in five games. The only one they didn't lose? The win at Man City. Spurs had fourth place in their sights, now it looks as distant dream. Worrying times." - Graeme Bailey, 90min reporter and transfer insider.

"Wow, Conte is one to watch. Explosive comments tonight." - Nizaar Kinsella, Goal.

"Antonio Conte, one of the best managers in the world, basically asking to be fired is one of the most Spurs things I’ve ever seen." - Toby Cudworth, 90min.

"WOW. If Conte walks many fans who have never previously raised their voice against ENIC will collectively do so joining those who already have. Tomorrow will be interesting, I wonder when the pre Leeds press conference is?" - Football Insider pundit John Wenham, from his Lilywhite Rose Twitter account.

"Brilliant post match interview with Antonio Conte by @sammatterface for @talkSPORT. Wow. Hinting he might walk. Paraphrasing… He’s never been in this situation before losing games like this. 4 defeats in 5. Maybe he can’t continue. He needs to assess. Phew. Sounded broken." - Bianca Westwood, presenter as seen on Sky Sports.

The Verdict: Big news...

The former Chelsea boss refusing to rule out a Spurs exit certainly comes as a big and potentially worrying development, and if he doesn't opt to quit in the near future, it could be one to keep an eye on if Tottenham don't revive their ailing form.

Conte's glistening track record highlights his thirst for success, and if Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy cannot back him in the summer window, then there is every reason to believe that the Italian could eventually walk away from N17.
