Antonio Conte has left Tottenham by mutual consent after failing to end their 15-year trophy drought during his time in North London.
The club have confirmed that Cristian Stellini will be in charge for the remainder of the season, along with Ryan Mason as Assistant Head Coach.
Daniel Levy said this on the Tottenham website: “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.”
Spurs crashed out of the Champions League and FA Cup in the space of a week and dropped more points in the race for fourth place at Southampton on Saturday.
After finding themselves 3-1 up at St Mary’s with 13 minutes to go, they went on to concede twice and leave with just a point, sparking Conte into a rage in his post-match press conference.
The fiery coach pointed fingers at the players and the owners, stating that nothing will change even if he was dismissed from his role.
He said: “We are not a team. We are 11 players that go into the pitch. I see selfish players, players that don’t want to help each other and don’t put their heart.
“Until now I try to hide the situation but now, not any more.
“Here’s always the same, every season. The club has the responsibility for the transfer market, the coach has responsibility. But the players, where are the players?
“They are used to it here at Tottenham. They don’t play for something important. They don’t want to play under pressure, under stress. It is easy in this way.
“Tottenham story’s this for 20 years, there’s the owner but they never won something.”
The 53-year-old had been coy about his future in London and previously hinted that he would like to return to Italy to spend more time with his family.
Spurs now look set to commence another rebuilding project with a new manager at the helm and Mauricio Pochettino is the hot favourite to return to his former employers.
