MADRID, 24 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Tottenham announced on Monday the dismissal of Cristian Stellini, the coach who had hired the English team after the dismissal of Antonio Conte, after the “totally unacceptable” performance offered against Newcastle in the Premier League.
The ‘Spurs’, in the fourth game of the Italian, who was part of Conte’s coaching staff, fell to a 6-1 thrashing against the ‘Urracas’ at St James Park, in a game where they were already falling by a severe injury in the 21st minute. 5-0.
“Sunday’s performance against Newcastle was totally unacceptable and devastating to watch. We can see many reasons why it happened and although the Board, the coaches, the players and I must take collective responsibility, ultimately the responsibility is mine.” said Daniel Levy, president of the London team, in a statement.
He confirmed that Stellini “will leave his current position together with his coaching staff.” “Cristian intervened at a difficult moment in our season and I want to thank him for the professional way in which he and his coaching staff have behaved during such a difficult moment. We wish him and his staff the best,” the manager thanked.
Now, the responsibility of trying to get sixth-placed Tottenham to qualify for the Champions League or European competition will fall to Ryan Mason “with immediate effect”. “Ryan knows the club and the players well. We will update more on his coaching staff in due time,” said Levy, who assured that, after meeting with the squad, “the team is determined to come together to guarantee the strongest end of the season possible”.
