Tottenham Hotspur suffered a humiliating 6-1 defeat against Newcastle United on Sunday, which worsened the club’s chances of qualifying for the Champions League. (Football.London) Tottenham are now ninth in the Premier League table and almost certainly out of contention for European football next season. The defeat put more pressure on interim head coach Cristian Stellini, who is expected to be sacked as Tottenham hold crisis talks today (Football Insider).
Even before the Newcastle loss, Tottenham’s future was uncertain. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy was reportedly in contact with possible managers while Stellini was in charge. (Football.London) Hugo Lloris, Tottenham’s captain, also spoke out about the team’s inconsistency and lack of leadership on the field. (Football.London)
Tottenham’s next match is against Aston Villa on Wednesday, and there are already doubts about whether Stellini will still be in charge. (CBS Sports) Tottenham will need to significantly improve if they hope to win and keep their faint hopes of European football alive.
In terms of transfer news, there are rumors that Tottenham are interested in signing Mikkel Damsgaard from Sampdoria. (Football.London) However, without Champions League football, it may be difficult for Tottenham to attract top players to the club.
Overall, Tottenham are facing a difficult time as they navigate their future. With a potential change in management on the horizon and their chances of making the Champions League slim, it remains to be seen what direction the club will take.
