The 2022–23 season was Tottenham Hotspur's 31st season in the Premier League, 45th consecutive season in the top flight of the English football league system and 141st season in existence. In addition to the domestic league, they participated in the season's FA Cup, EFL Cup and UEFA Champions League, having finished fourth in the 2021–22 Premier League.[3]
On 26 March 2023, Tottenham announced that head coach Antonio Conte had left the club by mutual agreement. On the same day, Cristian Stellini took charge as the acting head coach until the end of the season.[4] On 24 April 2023, following a 6–1 loss to Newcastle United, Stellini was sacked and replaced by Ryan Mason.[5][6]

Perspective

Tottenham's season started with a 4–1 home win against Southampton.[7] The club then went on a seven-game unbeaten run in the league, which saw Tottenham beat Leicester City 6–2 with Son Heung-min coming off the bench to score a second half hat-trick.[8] After the international break, the players returned for an away game on 1 October against North London rivals Arsenal losing 3–1 and ending their Premier League undefeated streak.[9] Tottenham went on to win their next two matches against Brighton & Hove Albion and Everton; however, their form dropped with multiple losses in the league in October and November against Manchester United, Newcastle United and Liverpool. On the final game before the World Cup break, Tottenham defeated Leeds United 4–3.
In the Champions League, Tottenham had good enough form to top their group with a double win over Marseille and a home win against Eintracht Frankfurt. Their only loss was away to Sporting CP in Portugal. For the round of 16, Tottenham were drawn against seven-time winners AC Milan, to be played in February and March 2023.
Tottenham entered the third round of the EFL Cup and were drawn away to Nottingham Forest. Forest at the time were bottom of the league and struggling to find form. The match took place on 9 November, and Tottenham started with what was considered a strong squad. However, the game resulted in a 2–0 defeat, with goals from Renan Lodi and Jesse Lingard knocking the club out of the competition.[10]
The winter break came early due to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. After the World Cup, Tottenham only played one game in December, against Brentford, which ended as a 2–2 draw.[11]
In January and February, Tottenham's league form was up and down. They first lost 2–0 at home to Aston Villa on New Year's Day, but then thrashed Crystal Palace 4–0. Tottenham then had a difficult run of games against Arsenal, Manchester City, Fulham and then Manchester City again.
Tottenham advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup defeating Portsmouth 1–0 in the third round,[12] and defeating Preston North End 3–0 in the fourth round.
In February, Conte returned to Italy to have surgery to remove his gallbladder, leaving Cristian Stellini in charge. Under Stellini, Tottenham played their round of 16 Champions League match, first away in Milan, losing 1–0. The home game played on 8 March was a goalless draw, knocking Tottenham out of the Champions League. The game also saw Cristian Romero get sent off for a second yellow card.[13]
Stellini's Tottenham had mixed results, including being knocked out of the FA Cup by Sheffield United.[14] On 26 March, Conte was sacked a day after showing his frustration in a news conference after a 3–3 draw at Southampton. Stellini was only in charge for four more games, the last being a crushing 6–1 loss at Newcastle, Tottenham's worst defeat of the season, after which Stellini was sacked and replaced with assistant coach Ryan Mason.[15] Mason was in charge for six games, winning two, losing three and drawing one. On the last day of the season, Tottenham beat Leeds United 4–1 away from home and finishing in eighth place, the club's worst league position since the 2008–09 season. This was also Lucas Moura's last game for the club, as he scored the final goal of the game.[16]
