Gianluca Conte to exit Tottenham but Antonio gives blessing for rest of coaching staff to stay

Marco Savorani, Gianni Vio, Stefano Bruno and Costantino Coratti all to remain at Spurs, along with Cristian Stellini

Gianluca Conte is expected to follow big brother Antonio out of Tottenham, but the rest of the Italian's coaching staff are set to remain with his blessing.

Antonio Conte finally left his role as Spurs manager after 16 months late on Sunday night by mutual consent, an expected development to end an unhappy tenure a few months early after his extraordinary rant following the last Premier League outing against Southampton in which he heavily criticised his squad and also took aim at the Spurs hierarchy.

Conte’s long-time assistant Cristian Stellini will remain in north London as caretaker boss until the end of the current campaign, supported by Ryan Mason, as Tottenham face 10 key matches in their bid to secure a top-four finish and Champions League qualification for next season, starting with a trip to struggling Everton next Monday night.

And Stellini will be helped in that role along with Mason by the majority of Conte’s other coaches, including goalkeeping coach Marco Savorani, set-piece specialist Gianni Vio and fitness coaches Stefano Bruno and Costantino Coratti.

There had been suggestions last week that Savorani would be leaving along with Conte amid a potential return to Tottenham for former goalkeeper and ex-interim goalkeeping coach Michel Vorm.

Conte’s younger brother Gianluca is poised to follow his sibling out of Spurs, however, having served as technical and analytics coach.

With Stellini steering the ship for now, Tottenham - who currently sit fourth in the Premier League and two points above Newcastle, who have two games in hand on their rivals - will quickly turn their attentions to appointing a new long-term manager in the summer.

Recently sacked Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann and Spurs favourite Mauricio Pochettino are both considered among the top early contenders for the role.
