Interim head coach Cristian Stellini intends to prove he was the right choice to take Tottenham through to the end of the season following the departure of Antonio Conte.

Conte left Spurs on Sunday by mutual consent a week on from an extraordinary rant in which he criticised his own “selfish players” following a 3-3 draw at Southampton.
