Tottenham sack interim manager Cristian Stellini after Newcastle thrashing

[Yomi]

Interim manager Cristian Stellini has been sacked by Tottenham Hotspur after less than a month in charge.

The decision comes after Spurs were thrashed 6-1 by Newcastle at St James’ Park on Sunday.

Stellini, 48, was appointed at the end of March after former boss Antonio Conte left the club after 16 months.

The defeat is a significant blow to Spurs’ hopes of securing Champions League qualification.

A statement from Spurs chief executive Daniel Levy read:

“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.

I met with the Player Committee today – the squad is determined to pull together to ensure the strongest possible finish to the season. We are all clear we need to deliver performances which earn your amazing support.”
