Tottenham Hotspur’s acting head coach, Cristian Stellini, has been given the boot following the club’s devastating 6-1 loss to Newcastle United. The defeat has left Spurs’ Champions League hopes in tatters, and Chairman Daniel Levy has decided that Stellini’s position was no longer tenable. Stellini, who was serving as Antonio Conte’s No. 2, took over as temporary head coach after the Italian’s departure last month, but the team’s continued poor performances under his leadership have led to his dismissal.
In a statement issued on Monday evening, Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy took responsibility for the team’s recent struggles.
