Cristian Stellini has opened up on Tottenham's 2022/23 campaign that was "crowned with a thousand problems and dramatic situations". Having finished in fourth the previous term and looking to build on a very strong finish to the season under Antonio Conte, it was a campaign to forget for Spurs as they had three different head coaches in the hotseat and missed out on European football completely.
After initially making a strong start to the season, Tottenham were rocked by the tragic passing of fitness coach Gian Piero Ventrone at the age of 61. Conte, who had suffered with the deaths of three close friends during the campaign, then required time away from the club after undergoing gallbladder surgery at the start of February, thus seeing Stellini put in temporary charge for a handful of games.
The assistant head coach was to then get even more matches under his belt following Conte's exit from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in late March, although he wouldn't remain as acting head coach for too long after some nightmare results, including the 6-1 hammering at Newcastle United that resulted in his dismissal. Just over seven weeks on from his sacking, the Italian has discussed the 2022/23 season and admitted it was a year like no other.
