As expected, that debacle against Newcastle United had to show casualties. After being humiliated 6-1 on Sunday, Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy reacted immediately – the North London club decided to sack their interim head coach Cristian Stellini.It took Levy 20 years to build modern Tottenham, and Newcastle just 20 minutes to tear it into skinny pieces”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.”, Levy’s statement on Spurs’ official website opened with.”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.”🚨 BREAKING: Tottenham have sacked coach Cristian Stellini following yesterday’s 6-1 defeat at Newcastle ❌ pic.twitter.com/ky86dgR91X— 433 (@433) April 24, 2023 Stellini, who was only put in charge last month after his former boss Antonio Conte left the club, will be replaced by Ryan Mason.”Ryan Mason will take over Head Coach duties with immediate effect.
