Cristian Stellini insists his relationship with Antonio Conte is "still the same" and they are "very close" - despite taking his job at Tottenham.
Stellini was appointed as Tottenham's acting head coach after chair Daniel Levy parted company with manager Conte during the international break. Stellini was Conte's assistant but has now got the chance to manage in the Premier League until the summer.
The caretaker's first game in charge since Conte's exit will be the trip to Goodison Park to face Everton on Monday. Stellini, who will be assisted by Ryan Mason, addressed concerns of a rift between him and Conte during his pre-match press conference on Friday.
