Tottenham have confirmed they have parted ways with interim boss Cristian Stellini as their season reaches a new farcical low.
Stellini was only appointed last month after Antonio Conte was sacked as head coach following a downturn in results. However, his old assistant has failed to turn the tide, culminating in the humiliating 6-1 defeat at Newcastle.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has confirmed the Italian’s immediate departure, along with the coaching staff. Ryan Mason has been named as the club’s second interim head coach in as many months.
A lengthy statement from Levy reads: “Sunday’s performance against Newcastle was wholly unacceptable. It was devastating to see. We can look at many reasons why it happened and whilst myself, the Board, the coaches and players must all take collective responsibility, ultimately the responsibility is mine.
“Cristian will leave his current role along with his coaching staff. Cristian stepped in at a difficult point in our season and I want to thank him for the professional manner in which he and his coaching staff have conducted themselves during such a challenging time. We wish him and his staff well.
“Ryan Mason will take over Head Coach duties with immediate effect. Ryan knows the Club and the players well. We shall update further on his coaching staff in due course.
