Tottenham Hotspur have sacked Cristian Stellini after the 6-1 humiliation suffered at the hands of Newcastle United this past weekend. The former Antonio Conte assistant was appointed the permanent head coach until the end of the season, on the back of his impressive performances when Conte was sidelined.
However, now that Tottenham are struggling to stay in the top four, the board has decided to take a drastic measure and appoint Ryan Mason until the end of the season.

“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 chairman Daniel Levy revealed in a statement.
“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.”
