CEO of Tottenham Fabio Paratici commented on the dismissal of head coach Antonio Conte.
"The club was very supportive of Antonio and we were close to each other. Then we reached a common agreement. I think the decision we made was the right one for everyone.
Christian (Stellini) led the team when Antonio was sick this season. Ryan Mason can help him a lot. He knows everything about this club and the group of players. We are really very confident that these two people can do a very good job. We don't talk about other coaches and we don't follow the speculation in the media because it's just rumors. Right now we are focused on helping Christian, as well as helping the staff, Ryan and the players," Paratici was quoted as saying by the Spurs press service.
It will be recalled that Antonio Conte's assistant Christian Stellini will serve as Tottenham's coach until the end of the season.
