Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has accepted responsibility for Sunday's chastening 6-1 defeat against Newcastle after confirming that acting head coach Cristian Stellini has been relieved of his duties.But Stellini has now paid the price for Tottenham's humiliating defeat at St James' Park, where they made the worst possible start after conceding five times in just 21 minutes. Ryan Mason will step in to take charge "with immediate effect" while the club continue with their process to find a new head coach.
There had been reports claiming that the club hierarchy had held crisis talks in the wake of Sunday's loss, which dealt a huge blow to Tottenham's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League once again this season.
