LONDON -- Mauricio Pochettino says Tottenham Hotspur plan to appoint a replacement for outgoing head of recruitment Paul Mitchell.
Mitchell, 34, resigned from his post in August but he is still serving notice at the club, and due to leave in the New Year. He is part of a five-man transfer committee at Tottenham, also including Pochettino, chairman Daniel Levy, chief scout Ian Broomfield and former manager David Pleat.
Pochettino, whose job title was changed from head coach to manager in May and now has more say in recruitment than before, says the club plans to replace Mitchell, who was recruited from Southampton in November 2014.
