Cristian Stellini was fired by Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday following a dismal 6-1 loss to Newcastle United.
The departure of the Italian was officially announced by Tottenham. The performance against Newcastle on Sunday was completely awful. It was awful to witness. There are numerous possible explanations for what occurred, and while I, the Board, the coaches, and the players must all accept responsibility collectively, in the end, the blame lies with me.
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. “I met with the Player Committee today; the squad is determined to pull together to ensure the strongest possible finish to the season. We are all clear that we need to deliver performances that earn your amazing support,” as quoted by Tottenham FC.
Within a span of two months, Tottenham has undergone two managerial changes. Earlier, Antonio Conte and Tottenham mutually decided to part ways on 27 March. Tottenham made an announcement to thank Conte for his contribution during a tenure that lasted for 16 months.
The 31-year-old English manager Ryan Mason will take over the managerial duties, and his next game will be a crucial tie with respect to their chances of qualifying for UEFA Champions League football.
