JAMIE CARRAGHER has told Tottenham to sack Cristian Stellini after the 6-1 defeat at Newcastle.
And he believes Spurs deserve to “get a proper manager, not Antonio Conte’s mate.”
Tottenham’s season hit a new low as they were torn apart by top four rivals Newcastle at St James’ Park.
The hosts were ahead after just a minute.
But Spurs’ bad day was only just starting as Toon raced into a FIVE-goal lead by the 20th minute.
The scoreline eventually ended 6-1, leaving the Londoners to rue their miserable journey up north.

Caretaker boss Stellini, who was assistant to previous manager Conte, had no response to Newcastle’s energetic press and devastating finishing.
And Tottenham’s hopes of playing in the Champions League next season now look out of reach.
Fans will be eagerly awaiting the new campaign when they land a new manager this summer.
But Liverpool legend Carragher believes Tottenham should get rid of Stellini now and bring in a new man.

He reckons the Italian’s decision to change from a five-man defence to a back four proved he is tactically incompetent.
And Spurs deserve to get a gaffer who knows how to drive the team forward.
Carragher said: “Newcastle are brilliant, they have been all season.
“Tottenham are a disgrace! How have they gone to a back four for the first time this season, with Porro a full back that can’t defend & Perisic who is a winger.
“Get a proper manager in right now, not Conte’s mate.”
