Coaching career

In 2011, Stellini joined Antonio Conte's coaching team at Juventus, and passed the category 2 coaching exam.[5][6] However, in 2012 Stellini was suspended for two and a half years by the FIGC following allegations of match fixing. He subsequently resigned from his post as technical assistant at Juventus.[7]

Stellini made his return to football as youth coach of Genoa from 2015 to 2017.

In June 2017, Stellini was named new head coach of Lega Pro club Alessandria, signing a two-year contract.[8] He was dismissed on 20 November 2017 due to poor results.[9]

Stellini joined Conte's managerial staff at Inter ahead of the 2019–20 season. Stellini won the Scudetto with Inter during the 2020–21 season, managing the team to three victories when Conte was suspended for yellow card accumulation.[10]

Stellini once again linked up with Conte at Tottenham Hotspur, resuming his role as assistant manager. In the final game of the 2022–23 Champions League Group Stage, Stellini led the team to a victory at Marseille, earning Spurs a spot in the knockout stage and winning the group in the process. [11]

In February 2023, it was confirmed that Conte required gallbladder surgery to recover from cholecystitis and therefore required a period of recuperation following the surgery. As assistant manager Stellini assumed Conte's duties on an interim basis for the duration of his recovery.[12] Stellini managed a Tottenham game for the second time on 5 February, a 1-0 home win against Manchester City.[13] Conte made his return to the dugout for Tottenham's following two games, a 4-1 defeat to Leicester City and 1-0 defeat to AC Milan, however it was then announced that he would return to Italy to continue his recovery; as a result, Stellini once again assumed management responsibilities, and in his first match back, led Spurs to a 2-0 victory against West Ham United, followed by another 2–0 victory against Chelsea.[14][15]

On 26 March 2023, following exits from the Champions League and the FA Cup and his outburst in the post match press conference after Tottenham Hotspur's 3-3 draw with Southampton, Conte left the club by mutual consent. Stellini, originally deputy to Conte, was appointed by Daniel Levy as acting head coach until the end of the season, with Ryan Mason serving as his assistant.[1] In his first game as acting head coach, on 3 April, his side drew 1–1 with Everton, conceding a late goal.[16] On 15 April he suffered a 3-2 loss against Bournemouth, conceding a late goal once more.[17] He needed to win the next match to give his team an increased chance of a Champions League spot. But, on 23 April he suffered a 6-1 loss against Newcastle, going 5-0 down inside 21 minutes, which dented their hopes of finishing in the Champions League even more.[18]
