Cristian Stellini recalls coaching refugees to put Spurs ‘crisis’ in perspective

Cristian Stellini believes Tottenham’s current problems pale into insignificance as the new acting head coach reflected on his time coaching refugees in Turin.

Spurs have endured a “chaotic” fortnight, in the words of their latest interim boss, after Antonio Conte left last week and managing director of football Fabio Paratici was forced to take a leave of absence after his ban in Italy was extended worldwide.

Crisis has been a word associated with Tottenham for much of March but Stellini has a sense of perspective given his life experiences.

“You cannot feel it’s a crisis when you have a club around you, when you have fans around you,” the 48-year-old said.
