Tottenham Hotspur have parted ways with coach Antonio Conte.
The Italian’s exit from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium comes over a week after his explosive post-match press conference outburst following the 3-3 draw at Southampton.
Spurs said in a statement late on Sunday night: “We can announce that Head Coach Antonio Conte has left the Club by mutual agreement. We achieved Champions League qualification in Antonio’s first season at the Club. We thank Antonio for his contribution and wish him well for the future”.
“We have 10 Premier League games remaining and we have a fight on our hands for a Champions League place,” Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said in a statement.
“We all need to pull together. Everyone has to step up to ensure the highest possible finish for our club and amazing, loyal supporters”.
Stellini previously stood in for Conte on the touchline this season when the 53-year-old was recovering from gallbladder surgery.
Former Spurs midfielder Ryan Mason, who was briefly interim boss in 2021, will take over as assistant coach.
