Mauricio Pochettino was sacked from the role of head coach of Tottenham Hotspur, along with his coaching staff Jesus Perez, Miguel D’Agostino and Antoni Jimenez who have also been relieved of their duties.

Pochettino joined Spurs in 2014 and helped the club to the highest finish in Premier League history- 2nd in 2016-17 season. He took Spurs to Champions League final in the 2018-19 season. He is credited with developing players like Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli, Eric Dier, Son Heung Min and Harry Winks.

“Mauricio and his coaching staff will always be part of our history. I have the utmost admiration for the manner in which he dealt with the difficult times away from a home ground whilst we built the new stadium and for the warmth and positivity he brought to us. I should like to thank him and his coaching staff for all they have contributed. They will always be welcome here,” Chairman Daniel Levy said in an official statement.

“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,” he added.

In the current Premier League table, they sit at 14th with 20 points behind leaders Liverpool.
