Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte has revealed he has been told by club chiefs not to do any more interviews with Italian media.It comes after the fiery Italian boss appeared to criticise the Spurs board’s decision-making in a controversial interview with Sky Sports Italia earlier this week.Conte suggested his squad had been weakened after allowing four “important” players to leave in the January transfer window, while recruiting just two replacements who were not ready to make the side competitive.And after facing criticism for his comments, Conte hit back on Friday by stating the English media were out to “cause a problem” between he and chairman Daniel Levy.Conte said: “I don’t understand why someone wants to create a problem with me; not only me but also coaches in the past.“I read a lot of stories in the past about the club and it creates a problem with the coach and the chairman.“The chairman knows very well my thoughts. If I have to speak with him, I go to speak with him.

Zack Sharf Francis Ford Coppola is putting down $120 million of his own money to make his long-in-the-works passion project “Megalopolis.” Coppola wrote “Megalopolis” in the early 1980s and has been reportedly in talks with Oscar Isaac, Forest Whitaker and Cate Blanchett to finally get the film off the ground. The issue Coppola has faced is that the movie is such an ambitious and expensive original idea that no major studio would ever touch it.Speaking to GQ magazine, Coppola said that major Hollywood executives reacted to his “Megalopolis” pitch the “same way they did when I had won five Oscars and was the hottest film director in town and walked in with ‘Apocalypse Now’ and said, ‘I’d like to make this next.’ I own ‘Apocalypse Now.’ Do you know why I own ‘Apocalypse Now?’ Because no one else wanted it.” Coppola added, “So imagine, if that was the case when I was 33 or whatever the age and I had won every award and had broken every record and still absolutely no one wanted to join me, [then how do you think they’re reacting now?] I know that ‘Megalopolis,’ the more personal I make it, and the more like a dream in me that I do it, the harder it will be to finance.”The plot of “Megalopolis” remains something of a mystery.
