Tottenham Coach Quit Job After Humiliating Defeat to Newcastle

Tottenham boss Cristian Stellini has left his job as coach after his side were subjected to a humiliating defeat by Newcastle in the history of the club.

Tottenham confirmed today that, the interim manager left his role after the 6-1 defeat to Newcastle on Sunday.

Stellini’s side were down 5-0 to the Magpies in the early part of the game at St James’ Park, dashing the hopes of Spurs in a Champions League qualification as they fell six points behind Newcastle having played a game more.

Meanwhile, Chairman Daniel Levy has confirmed that, Ryan Mason will step in as caretaker having previously played same role in 2021 when Jose Mourinho was fired.

Levy in a statement said: “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.

The statement continued, “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. We shall update further on his coaching staff in due course.

“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 we need to deliver performances which earn your amazing support.”

However, according to speculations, Julian Nagelsmann is likely to take over the job as head coach for Tottenham if a deal is agreed on.
