Cristian Stellini has been sacked as Tottenham's acting head coach with Ryan Mason taking over head coach responsibilities in wake of their 6-1 humiliation against Newcastle United on Sunday afternoon. Heading to Tyneside for such an important game in their top-four battle, Spurs found themselves five goals down after only 21 minutes on the clock.
Their heavy defeat has resulted in chairman Daniel Levy dismissing Stellini, who had only taken charge at the end of March after Antonio Conte parted ways with the club.
A statement from Levy on the club's official website read: "Dear All, 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.
