Tottenham Hotspur have parted company with interim boss Cristian Stellini following a 6-1 defeat to Newcastle United at St. James' Park. It was a calamitous afternoon for Spurs who were 5-0 down inside just 21 minutes, handing the Magpies a six point advantage in the race for the top-four and Champions League football.
A statement from Tottenham Hotspur and Daniel Levy 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. Cristian will leave his current role along with his coaching staff.
