any examples of a managers long term assistant not leaving his role when the manager does?

Yeh it's an odd one for me, not disappointed personally as he did well for us when needed and keeps a level of consistency, if he tweaks moral it could work.
It's rare and slightly strange that close knit team like Contes isn't leaving together, can't get my head round that part, will be loads of speculation I'm sure

John Gorman stayed on with England under Keegan when Hoddle left (he talked about it on the Spurs Show the other week)

I think Mason's impending paternity leave might have been a factor too

Yes it would have been a leap of faith to pay that for Gvardiol last summer. But post-world cup it looks great value. Certainly would have been more impactful than Richarlison and Bissouma. Going into the world cup break it was clear our defense was the issue. It held our attacking back. We simply leak too many goals. It undermined Conte and he could only get us conceding less by making us less adventurous.
Conte has an attention to detail. A determination to win. And a work ethic to achieve it. Maybe not the most brilliant manager, but he certainly has the ingredients with a strong coaching team to deliver. And to be fair he did okay for us. We are in 4th place. He's got more from the team than other recent managers have. Not enough granted, but he's not even had one full season with us!

On balance probably the least disruptive path for the 10 game season we have left.
If Conte was the problem, that has been removed. We've had a flavour of it in recent weeks anyway.
It certainly leaves Mason less exposed.
We are still a live chance for 4th so let's not chuck that away.
It sounds like it's amicable, even the blessing of Conte to allow Stellini to follow his own path for a bit bodes well.
Gives us some breathing room to get the next guy signed up and also let the Paratici situation straighten itself out or alternatively dump him.
