Why Tottenham Sacked Pochettino
Tottenham have sacked manager, Mauricio Pochettino after five years in charge of the Premier League club.
The former Southampton led the club to the Champions League final last season which they lost to Liverpool a top four finish have, however, made a disappointing start to the 2019/20 league campaign.
The club is presently at the 14th position, the worst beginning for the club since Pochettino was appointed in 2014.
Club chairman who made the announcement, said it was a reluctant decision.
“We were extremely reluctant to make this change,” he said in a statement.
“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.
“It falls on the board to make the difficult decisions – this one made more so given the many memorable moments we have had with Mauricio and his coaching staff – but we do so in the club’s best interests.”
The club is to make decisions in due course.
Noting the reluctance in letting the popular coach go, Levy said:
“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.
“We have a talented squad. We need to re-energise and look to deliver a positive season for our supporters.”
