Mauricio Pochettino breaks his silence on Tottenham Hotspur sacking

Mauricio Pochettino has broken his silence following his sacking by Tottenham last week.

The Argentinian was relieved of his post as Spurs boss, after five-and-a-half years in charge following a poor start to the 2019/20 campaign.

He was promptly replaced by former Chelsea and Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho.

After a week, Pochettino has released  statement via the League Managers' Association.

He said: "I would like to thank Joe Lewis and Daniel Levy for giving me the opportunity to be part of Tottenham Hotspur’s history.

"I would like to thank also everyone I met at Tottenham, all the club staff and the football players during these five and a half years.

"Finally I would like to give a special mention to the fans who make this club so great with their fantastic support.

"I gave the best of me to accomplish the objectives I was asked for in our first meeting. There were equally tough challenges as exciting success.

"Best wishes for the future, I am sure we will cross paths again."
