Mauricio Pochettino tells Tottenham fans exactly what they want to hear over quit rumours

Mauricio Pochettino has responded to rumours that he's set to walk away from Tottenham Hotspur, calling it 'a stupid rumour'.

Speculation started to mount on Thursday evening when rumours began to circulate on social media that the Argentine would resign from his role as Spurs manager after Sunday's clash with Arsenal.

Pochettino is a hugely popular figure among the Tottenham fans, and speaking in his pre-match press conference, the manager said that he has no intention of walking away.

He said: "What I can say about that stupid rumour.

"After five years now I start the sixth and you know how we worked in the summer to try to rebuild and update because from (version) 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 and now 6.0 MP software, you know.

"That stupidity can happen through some rumour sent into social media that creates a big problem that doesn't exist. I'm not going to walk away after the North London Derby.

"I'm going to be here Monday, Tuesday... My plan is to travel - I'm not going to tell you where because I have some commitments, and then Friday again to London, meeting with Daniel (Levy), the weekend I think I'm going to watch some games live of national teams and Monday is preparing the week.

"I'm not this type of person who sends messages through social media."
