Cristian Stellini could face the humiliation of being removed as Tottenham's temporary head coach following their harrowing display at Newcastle.
In an opening that defied belief at St James' Park, the hosts scored five times in the first 23 minutes, as Stellini's decision to switch to a 4-3-3 formation proved catastrophic. He later reverted to a back five, but Harry Kane's consolation strike in the second half failed to mask the farce as Eddie Howe's side romped to a 6-1 win.
Stellini had initially been charged with taking over the hot seat until the end of the season, having previously served as assistant to Antonio Conte. But with the latest debacle following a home defeat to Bournemouth, and hopes of a top four finish fading, Spurs chiefs are set to hold crisis talks over his short term future.
