The Telegraph have revealed that Antonio Conte gave his blessing for Cristian Stellini to take over as interim head coach until the end of the season.
Spurs confirmed on Sunday that the club and Conte had mutually agreed to part ways. The announcement certainly did not come as a surprise, with the only surprising element being the fact that it took more than a week since the Italian’s tirade against his players for the news to emerge.

The Telegraph have now revealed that Conte have his blessing for his long-term number two stay in his absence and help guide Spurs to Champions League qualification for a second successive season.
