Coach of Tottenham Hotspurs, Mauricio Pochettino has been sacked after five years in charge of the club.
Pochettino was relieved of his duties following the dismissal performance of the club recently. They have just won only five matches in all competition this season.
Chairman of the club, Daniel Levy said on Tuesday that a change had to be made in the “club’s best interests”.
“We were extremely reluctant to make this change and it is not a decision the board has taken lightly, nor in haste,” Levy said.
“Regrettably domestic results at the end of last season and beginning of this season have been extremely disappointing.
“It falls to 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.
“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.”
Tottenham had enjoyed a hugely successful European campaign last season, reaching the UEFA Champions League final.
