Poch blames 'stupid' social media on exit talk

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has denied claims that he is set to leave club, describing the rumours as "stupid."

Spurs lost 1-0 to Newcastle at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last weekend to continue the side's unspectacular start to the season, prompting speculation of Pochettino's exit from the club.

"Only social media can create something that stupid," Pochettino said in a news conference on Friday. "I will not walk away after Sunday's game.

"I will be working Monday and Tuesday and then going away for a few day. Do you bet? It's closed now! You lose your money!
