• Tottenham parted ways with former boss Antonio Conte after an explosive interview
• His assistants Cristian Stellini and Ryan Mason will take charge until the end of the season
• Former boss Mauricio Pochettino and former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann are shortlisted for the job

Tottenham parted ways with former head coach Antonio Conte after the Italian went on an emotional and explosive outburst against the club and players following the 3-3 draw against relegation-threatened Southampton.

The club and manager decided it was best to move on. They gave his assistants Cristian Stellini and Ryan Mason the responsibility of overseeing the team until the end of the season.

Conte's contract was to run until the end of the season, having signed for just 18 months when he joined the club midway through last season.

The search for a new manager is underway. According to Sports Mole, axed Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann and former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino are top picks for the job, with former Barcelona boss Luis Enrique also considered.
