Alderweireld expects ‘big manager’ to replace Pochettino at Tottenham amid Mourinho links

The London club sacked the coach just months after he guided them to the Champions League final but the defender expects a high-profile replacement

Toby Alderweireld is sure Tottenham will appoint a "big" manager after the Premier League club elected to relieve Mauricio Pochettino of his post.

Just six months after reaching the Champions League final, Spurs sit 14th in the Premier League following a dismal start to the campaign, winning just three games.

Tottenham are just a win away from the top six, but are 11 points adrift of the Champions League places with 12 matches played.
