Antonio Conte has left Tottenham Hotspur but has given his blessing for Cristian Stellini to take his place in the dugout.
That’s according to The Telegraph, who report that one of Conte’s final decisions as Tottenham boss surrounded Stellini.
Conte has decided there will be no hard feelings with Stellini as he takes the reins at Tottenham.
Conte’s exit from Tottenham was finally confirmed on Sunday and he has chosen not to stand in Stellini’s way.
Stellini filled in for Conte during his recovery from gallbladder surgery and will now manage Spurs until the summer.
Ryan Mason will serve as Stellini’s assistant as they attempt to guide Tottenham into the Champions League.
Antonio Conte and Cristian Stellini go way back
This is a big opportunity for Stellini, who did a fine job when filling in for Conte earlier this year.
It’s also nice to see that, whilst Conte’s relationship with Spurs has completely broken down, he isn’t expecting Stellini to follow him and understands the opportunity facing Stellini.
