Premier League news: Tottenham sack interim manager

-

 What is happening with Tottenham Hotspur?

The official Twitter account posted the picture of the corner flag. You know something big is about to go down.

Interim manager Cristian Stellini has been sacked by Tottenham Hotspur after four matches in charge. The decision comes a day after they were thrashed 6-1 at Newcastle. A performance that saw many fans leave the ground after only 20 minutes.

They are currently fifth in the Premier League table. Despite only being six points behind both Newcastle in third and Manchester United in fourth, very few fans will be expecting them to qualify for next season's Champions League.

This was a season that started so promising for them. It quickly turned into a nightmare and Daniel Levy felt he has been forced into changing manager again.

Look away Spurs fans. Highlights from yesterday.


A statement on the Tottenham Hotspur website reads: 

"Sunday’s performance against Newcastle was wholly unacceptable. It was devastating to see. We can look at many reasons why it happened and whilst myself, the Board, the coaches and players must all take collective responsibility, ultimately the responsibility is mine.

"Cristian will leave his current role along with his coaching staff. Cristian stepped in at a difficult point in our season and I want to thank him for the professional manner in which he and his coaching staff have conducted themselves during such a challenging time. We wish him and his staff well.Ryan Mason will take over Head Coach duties with immediate effect."

Fan reaction

As you can see from some of those comments. Tottenham fans are very annoyed with the situation at the club.

"I have never felt more distant from the club."

Those were the words of Greg, a Spurs fan from Yorkshire. He went on to say: "The last few weeks have been shambolic. This includes almost everyone within the club. The players have been awful, the coaching staff have made some bizarre decisions. However, I'd argue the biggest issue comes from Daniel Levy."

"Our season is now basically over."

Darren is also a Spurs annoyed with the current situation at the club. He believes the season is now over and they should planning for the summer transfer window. He added: "We played without any kind of a plan at St James' Park, but that was hardly a surprise after what we've already seen from the team in recent weeks. We are a complete mess. The only shock is that we haven't suffered this level of defeat for a while. Our season is now basically over."

 Manchester United 3 - 3 Coventry City Manchester United won 4-2 on penalties  United somehow progressed to the FA Cup final for the second successive season, following a dramatic semi-final victory over Coventry City. The Reds edged past the Sky Blues on penalties after a crazy and eventful 120 minutes to set up a rematch of last year's final, against Manchester City. Following goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes, United appeared to be in total and complete control. Despite having a few chances, it did look like this was one match too far for Coventry. However, goals Ellis Simms and O'Hare reduced the deficit and made things very nervy for Ten Hag's side. Then in stoppage time, Haji Wright kept his nerve in stoppage time to score from the spot and send the game into extra time. Many Manchester United fans were furious at this point.  Disgraceful performance from #mufc https://t.co/sibOvrXJB0 pic.twitter.com/dPV06sMrkJ — Jay Dee (@JDESFNews)

Despite another unconvincing display from Manchester United, they did look well set for victory thanks to Antony's well-taken 79th-minute effort. Then Burnley got a penalty  Although the referee John Brooks managed to miss the foul in real time, unlike against Wolves the video assistant referee, Peter Bankes, stepped in. Substitute Amdouni managed to send the keeper the wrong way and earn Burnley this point  This result moved Burnley to within two points of fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest, whom they play at Turf Moor on the final day of the season.  There could still be a dramatic fight for survival with Burnley, Luton and Forest all scrambling to avoid relegation to the Championship.  You can watch the highlights of the match in the video below.
