New Tottenham Hotspur interim coach Cristian Stellini has assured that the club is not facing a crisis following the departure of head coach Antonio Conte. While he admitted that Spurs endured a rocky 48 hours following Conte’s dismissal, Stellini insists that the club is in a stable predicament.
“It is not a club in crisis, absolutely not because everyone took the decision for the best,” Stellini claimed. “When you follow the process, you are not in crisis and if we have some matters, we have to be compact, we have to stick together, go ahead, continue to move on and play the match.”
Conte’s departure from the club came after he delivered a controversial news conference on March 18 when he criticized the club’s ownership as well as the attitude of the players after the team let slip a 3-1 lead against Southampton to draw 3-3. The Italian manager subsequently left the club by way of mutual consent.
Stellini joined Spurs as Conte’s assistant in November 2021 at the same time that Conte replaced previous manager Nuno Espirito Santo. He now has the job of helping Spurs hold onto fourth place in the Premier League, thereby securing Champions League qualification next season.
