The Italian manager joined Spurs in 2021 as Antonio Conte's deputy manager and took over when the former Inter Milan manager abruptly quit in dramatic fashion in March.
The death knell for Conte's difficult two years at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was his furious 10-minute tirade against his players and the club itself, and his assistant only lasted another month in the capital before he was replaced by Ryan Mason.
Tottenham struggled the rest of the way to finish eighth because they were unable to overcome off-field problems.
As a result, Spurs will compete in their first season since the 2009–10 season without playing in Europe.
However, Stellini emphasized in a Tutto Mercato Web interview that the team's relatively underwhelming season had been greatly influenced by external factors.
Stellini stated on the website's Radio Sport podcast that "the experience you gain by being around top-level professionals helps you gain experience at certain times."
It was a challenging season, one that, in my opinion, had never been attempted before because of the multitude of issues and dramatic circumstances that it culminated in.
In addition to the World Cup taking place in between, (Gian Piero) Ventrone's passing was sad for us.
It was particularly complicated because Mr. Conte was also unwell. Everyone will benefit from this year in the future.
In October 2022, Ventrone, a fitness coach who had worked with Conte since the 1990s and had developed a close bond with the players, passed away.
Leukemia had been identified in the 61-year-old coach, but it was thought that his passing came out of the blue.
The passing of their close friend is thought to have had a significant impact on Conte and his coaching staff, who took time off from the current season to attend his funeral in Naples.
Another 'complication' that distanced the coach from his players was Conte's own health issues, which caused him to recover from gall bladder surgery in February after less than two weeks of hospitalization.
However, Conte and Stellini's time in north London had its ups and downs.
