Daniel Levy has stated that Tottenham's 6-1 defeat against Newcastle was "wholly unacceptable" and "the responsibility is mine" after it resulted in another change in the Spurs hotseat. Following the humiliating defeat on Tyneside, Cristian Stellini has been dismissed from his role as Spurs' acting head coach, with Ryan Mason taking on head coach duties with immediate effect.
Releasing a statement on Tottenham's official website, Levy said: "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. Cristian stepped in at a difficult point in our season and I want to thank him for the professional manner in which he and his coaching staff have conducted themselves during such a challenging time. We wish him and his staff well.
