Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed who will take charge of their upcoming match against Everton following the dismissal of Antonio Conte.
It was announced late yesterday evening the Italian had left the the Lilywhites by mutual consent, a decision that came as little surprise to many on the back of Conte's brazen comments about the mentality of Spurs players and as a club in general.
The London club will now be led into their final ten matches of the season by the same pairing that assumed responsibility of the side when Conte was absent on the sidelines due to gall bladder surgery. Indeed, Cristian Stellini will take up the role of acting head coach and Ryan Mason will serve as assistant head coach. A permanent appointment is then expected to follow upon the completion of the campaign.

Commenting on the club's move to replace Conte, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy said: "We have 10 Premier League games remaining and we have a fight on our hands for a Champions League place. We all need to pull together. Everyone has to step up to ensure the highest possible finish for our Club and amazing, loyal supporters.”
Everton take on Tottenham at Goodison Park next Monday, looking to build on the point earned in a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge prior to the international break.
