Antonio Conte has left Tottenham Hotspur with the English Premier League side immediately announcing his replacement for the remainder of the season.
Spurs have struggled for league form in recent weeks while they also exited the Champions League against AC Milan. Conte returned to Italy to consider his future and he has now left the club by mutual consent, with his No.2 Cristian Stellini taking over until the summer.
A statement reads: "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.
"Cristian Stellini will take the team as Acting Head Coach for the remainder of the season, along with Ryan Mason as Assistant Head Coach."
Daniel Levy added: “We have 10 Premier League games remaining and we have a fight on our hands for a Champions League place. We all need to pull together. Everyone has to step up to ensure the highest possible finish for our club and amazing, loyal supporters.”
