PREMIER LEAGUE Tottenham sack Stellini after humiliation by Newcastle
He assumed interim managerial duties after Antonio Conte was sacked in late March.
Harry Kane pulled a goal back in the second half before Callum Wilson added a sixth shortly after coming on in the second half to leave Spurs' Champions League hopes hanging by a thread.
Acting head coach Cristian Stellini was sacked following the result, with the Italian lasting just four games in the role and he will be replaced by Ryan Mason, who had a similar stint as caretaker boss back in 2021 after Jose Mourinho was dismissed.
And on Tuesday, a statement from the players was released by the club where they apologised for the performance.
It said: “As a squad, we understand your frustration, your anger. It wasn't good enough. We know words aren't enough in situations like this but believe us, a defeat like this hurts. We appreciate your support, home and away, and with this in mind we would like to reimburse fans with the cost of their match tickets from St James' Park.”
