Antonio Conte’s well-advertised departure from Tottenham was finally confirmed on Sunday night, the club announcing it was by “mutual agreement” after a week of behind-the-scenes turbulence and stony public silence.
Conte’s long-time assistant, Cristian Stellini, will be acting head coach for the remainder of the season, with Ryan Mason as his assistant. The focus will turn towards the identity of the next permanent manager, with Julian Nagelsmann – sacked by Bayern Munich on Friday – on the club’s wish-list.
