Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has accepted responsibility for Sunday's chastening 6-1 defeat against Newcastle after confirming that acting head coach Cristian Stellini has been relieved of his duties.
Stellini had been placed in charge on an interim basis after former head coach Antonio Conte agreed to leave the club by mutual consent last month.
But Stellini has now paid the price for Tottenham's humiliating defeat at St James' Park, where they made the worst possible start after conceding five times in just 21 minutes. Ryan Mason will step in to take charge "with immediate effect" while the club continue with their process to find a new head coach.
