Cristian Stellini has departed Tottenham after less than a month in charge following Sunday’s 6-1 humiliation by Newcastle at St. James’ Park.
Tottenham have confirmed that Stellini and his coaching staff have departed the club in the wake of the team’s devastating 6-1 hammering by Newcastle in the Premier League on Sunday. Stellini took over on an interim basis on March 26 after Antonio Conte was sacked but has now followed his compatriot out of the door.
“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,” a statement from Spurs chairman Daniel Levy read.
“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.”
Levy also confirmed that Ryan Mason, who has filled in as interim boss previously, will take charge of the team once again for the time being.
