Tottenham No2 Cristian Stellini says he has no immediate plans to seek a No1 post.

Stellini has impressed as Antonio Conte recovers from gallbladder surgery.

He said, "I had two opportunities to coach by myself. In Genoa, as the coach of the U21s, and Alessandria.

"I enjoy a lot to be a coach in charge but when you take a decision you have to do your best. Sometimes I think about being a coach, like a dream. But I'm an assistant and that's the reality. I enjoy being an assistant. I feel I'm good in this job enough to continue.

"Taking decisions when you're an assistant is different the way you take them, because you think more about training and creating a good pace in the training. Also working maybe sometimes individually with players and you can enjoy a lot this aspect, because an assistant wants to improve the players individually and wants to create the right pace in the training.

"It's amazing when you feel the player following you. When you are a coach you have to take the decision and feel the responsibility, take a decision that affects the game and the win. So it's different, the responsibility is much more but maybe this feeling you enjoy to win and to take decisions.

"Like an assistant you decide on the pace and the training and help your coach in the decisions."
