Tottenham SACK acting head coach Christian Stellini as Daniel Levy pulls the trigger after a humiliating 6-1 thrashing against Newcastle… with Ryan Mason likely to take over until the end of the season
- Tottenham Hotspur has sacked acting head coach Cristian Stellini after just four games
- Stellini’s position was deemed untenable following a 6–1 defeat to Newcastle
- Ryan Mason has the support of Spurs players to lead the team through the end of the season
Tottenham Hotspur have sacked acting head coach Cristian Stellini following Sunday’s embarrassing loss to Newcastle.
The Spurs were beaten 6-1 at St James Park last weekend, leaving the club’s Champions League hopes hanging by a thread.
And chairman Daniel Levy has decided his position is untenable after talks earlier on Monday.
Stellini, Antonio Conte’s number two, was given temporary charge of the team after the Italian’s departure last month.
But Stellini has joined Conte in leaving the club.

Ryan Mason, who is a coach under Stellini, would have significant support from Spurs players to lead the team through to the end of the season.
Spurs were left humiliated in Newcastle on Sunday after a performance Stellini described as the ‘worst’ he has ever seen.

Behind the scenes, there were concerns that little has changed under Stellini given his ties to Conte and that the team could use a whole new approach.
Mason has been unable to fully establish his authority over the team since Conte’s departure as he is an assistant.
But the former Tottenham player is well placed to take charge of the team, having held the role of caretaker manager in the past.
