Spurs chairman Daniel Levy couldn’t wait any longer after a poor start to the new Premier League season left his side in 14th place in the table.
Tottenham have picked up just 14 points in 12 league games, while they also suffered the ignominy of being dumped out of the League Cup by League Two’s Colchester United.
Pochettino revealed he would have left North London had Spurs won the Champions League final against Liverpool last season, and given how the summer transfer window went, the Argentine surely didn’t feel well-supported enough.
