Cristian Stellini intends to prove he was the right choice to take Tottenham through to the end of the season following the departure of Antonio Conte.
Tottenham interim manager Cristian Stellini has stated that he now occupy the right position in the London team.
Conte left Spurs on Sunday by mutual consent a week on from an extraordinary rant in which he criticised his own ‘selfish players’ following a 3-3 draw at Southampton.
Long-serving assistant Stellini has been tasked with guiding Tottenham to a top-four finish over the final 10 Premier League games.
Stellini had a spell standing in for Conte during February when the former Spurs boss underwent surgery to remove his gallbladder.
Tottenham’s season was thrown into further chaos on Wednesday when it was revealed managing director of football Fabio Paratici’s ban in Italy had been extended worldwide.
Stellini, though, is confident he can help bring stability over the run-in, which continues at Everton on Monday night.
“I feel very honoured and feel I am in the right position to do this,” Stellini told SpursPlay.
“I want to do this with all the staff, with (assistant head coach) Ryan (Mason) that is very important for me and the club and it was important when we were in charge when Antonio wasn’t here.
“We feel we can do what we did before, we want to improve, and this is a moment to take responsibility and to improve, all together.”
