Former Leeds United assistant Nigel Gibbs has been appointed as first team coach at Tottenham Hotspur until the end of the season.
Cristian Stellini was sacked as interim manager on Monday after Tottenham's humiliating 6-1 defeat at Newcastle United, which saw them ship five goals inside the opening 21 minutes. Ryan Mason has been named caretaker boss and will work alongside Gibbs, and Matt Wells, who will take on the role of acting assistant head coach.
Tottenham won only one in four games under Stellini, and have collected just two victories from their last nine across all competitions. Their annihilation at the hands of Newcastle saw them plummet six points adrift of the top four, with fourth-place Manchester United boasting two games in hand over them.
