Tottenham sack interim manager Cristian Stellini

Cristian Stellini has been sacked by Tottenham after a humiliating 6-1 defeat to Newcastle on Sunday, April 23.

Stellini took over on an interim basis on March 26 after Antonio Conte was sacked. In a statement confirming his sack, Tottenham stated that Sunday’s performance against Newcastle was wholly unacceptable and was devastating to see.

A statement from Tottenham chairman 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.”
