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.

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.

“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.”

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

Gosh.
This is huge. He’s done so much for our club.
Those ‘crisis talks’ were just that.
Didn’t think Levy would bail on Poch and def not at £12.5m ish.
Poch will get snapped up.

I just really really hope Levy has someone lined up.
We cannot go a period of interim/caretaker managers.

Adios Mauricio! He was a great manager & sad to see him moving on. He will always be remembered fondly by the Spurs faithful. Let's hope the same holds true for that man Daniel Levy! Fingers crossed.

Fuck my old boots. The most successful manager we've had in years and the bean counter goes and sack's the guy.

Sad but it was time I feel. Things have been so poor for so long, not all Pochs doing to be fair but he didnt help himself either.
Poor tactics, team selections, shooting his mouth off about leaving after cl final, the Moura/Kane debacle in the CL Final just added to the piss poor mismanagement of not buying any players in 2 windows and letting players contracts run down.
What a shit show.
From such a high to so low so bloody quickly.
Oh well it'll be interesting if nothing else.

Big, big, big mistake. Should have trusted him with a transition period, if any Spurs manager had earned that in my lifetime it was him. The fans that had been waiting around in the background - like termites - for a reason to snap at him are no better than the morons on AFTV IMHO. Good Job.
