JUST IN: Tottenham Hotspur Sacks Interim Manager Cristian Stellini
Tottenham Hotspur has officially sacked Cristian Stellini and the rest of his-slash-Antonio Conte’s coaching staff. Ryan Mason will assume responsibilities as interim head coach for the rest of the season.
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.
Spurs have 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.

Sunday’s defeat was a damaging result for Spurs and their hopes of securing Champions League football for next season. Tottenham currently sit in fifth place in the table but are four points behind Manchester United in fourth, having played two games more than the Red Devils.
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.
Spurs have conceded nine goals across their last two Premier League matches, letting in three against Bournemouth in their previous game. It’s the most goals they’ve conceded across two consecutive league games since May 2003 (9 – 5 vs Middlesbrough and 4 vs Blackburn).
Spurs are back in action on Thursday in the Premier League when they host Manchester United.
