Tottenham SACK Mauricio Pochettino after five years at the club

Tottenham have sacked Mauricio Pochettino after a poor start to the season left the club struggling in mid-table.


The Argentine had been under intense scrutiny with Spurs languishing in 14th place in the Premier League with just three league wins all season, a huge fall from grace after he led the side to the Champions League final in the summer.


There had been reports West Ham game would crucial in determining his future, but the club have now decided to act in an attempt to arrest the team's slump down the table.

'The Club can today announce that Mauricio Pochettino and his coaching staff Jesus Perez, Miguel D'Agostino and Antoni Jimenez have been relieved of their duties,' it said in a statement.

Chairman, Daniel Levy, said: 'We were extremely reluctant to make this change and it is not a decision the Board has taken lightly, nor in haste.

'Regrettably domestic results at the end of last season and beginning of this season have been extremely disappointing..

'We shall provide an update on new coaching staff in due course.'

Speculation will be heating up regarding the Argentine's successor - Leipzig's Julian Nagelsmann, Napoli's Carlo Ancelotti and Bournemouth's Eddie Howe have all been heavily linked.

I honestly saw this coming...

First to comment since plenty years ago.

He should have left when the ovation was loudest immediately after the champions league final.

I think he overstayed his welcome.

That was pretty abrupt, I saw it coming but not till the end of the season. He really tried for the team despite the limited funds at his disposal. All the best Pochettino, another top flight football team awaits you.

Totts not making top 10 this season.

Definitely Money Hole taking over to increase his pension funds after at most, 18 months on the job.

Man utd grab him asap. Spurs no get sense

Old news

Bad news, a very good tactician

You can imagine...

About time

He did well for Tottenham but lately had been bereft of ideas to propel the team forward.

Team was stagnant. 4-5 changes every week in team formation.

Good luck on your journey Poch!!!

From UCL finalist to sack. EPL is unpredictable sha. Oya let ManUtd hire him(Posh).

Yes o. One way relegation ticket sure for man utd be that...lol.

WAIT A MINUTE!!!
So Poch could easily have gone to coach Madrid
Could easily have coached Utd
But rejected many clubs
jut because of loyalty

So Poch moved Spurs to a new stadium,
spent an entire calendar year (2 transfer windows)
without signing 1 single player

So Poch took Tottenham to champions league final
Consistently became a force in the Top 4
Made even Arsenal the also ran in London

And gets rewarded by getting sacked?
Daniel Levy got no chills mehnn

That's why I always advice players and coaches to remove emotions and sentiment when discussing contract.

Always attempt to move to where the grass is greener cos if you remain where the grass is grey, it may even reject your corpse when it finally kills you

. The club managements never Sabi wetin they worry them. Just one bad season una sack this confirm coach? Anyway e go soon clear for their eye.

Man U and Arsenal food don ready if una wise

Abeg, who's close to getting the job?

He's still better than Ole by far. I foresee Tottenham going down and under

If I was earning the crazy salaries these coaches get, I won't be fazed by a sack

The new stadium wahala continues...
