Ryan Mason has taken over head coach duties at Tottenham with immediate effect following Cristian Stellini's dismissal. The Italian oversaw a humiliating defeat to Newcastle United at the weekend as Spurs were dealt huge setback in the race for top-four.
The north Londoners found themselves five-goals behind after just 20 minutes at St James' Park before going on to lose 6-1. Tottenham now sit fifth in the Premier League on 53 points, while Manchester United hold fourth on 59 points with two games in hand.
Eddie Howe's side currently reside in third on 59 points and just one game in hand. While a Champions League qualification place may seem out of reach for Tottenham, Mason has inherited the difficult task of steadying the ship at Hotspur Way and climbing the table.
