Discover how Tottenham Hotspur can turn their season around and silence the external noise. Newly-appointed acting head coach, Cristian Stellini, hopes the team’s Friday morning meeting can serve as a catalyst for a positive outcome. After an explosive press conference by Antonio Conte, where he lambasted his “selfish players,” and his subsequent departure, Stellini has been left to pick up the pieces. With 10 games left of their Premier League season, Stellini’s focus is on the pitch and, following discussions with the team, he has faith they can fight together and achieve success.
Stellini also revealed that Tottenham’s managing director of football, Fabio Paratici, will be stepping away from his role until April 19 as a result of a recent ban that was extended by FIFA. With Paratici in charge of the managerial search to replace Conte, this news is sure to impact Tottenham’s plans for the future. Despite the uncertainty, Stellini remains committed to his current role and is focused on the next 10 games. This is a chance for him to step out of Conte’s shadow and put his own character and behaviour in charge of the team.
Tottenham’s next game is against Everton, where Stellini will have to make the big decisions without consulting Conte. However, he feels prepared and is grateful for everything he learned from his former boss.

“The next step is to work hard for the next 10 games. This is what I’m focused on and nothing has to change in my mind. I’m not here for vanity – I’m here to do my job”
