The message Mauricio Pochettino had for Tottenham fans on his first day that he fulfilled

Tottenham Hotspur and Mauricio Pochettino have parted ways.

The Argentine was sacked as Spurs manager on Tuesday night after five and a half seasons with the club.

The decision came with Tottenham sitting in 14th place in the Premier League, 11 points off fourth and having gone five Premier League games in a row without a win.

Pochettino's last game in charge of Spurs was a 1-1 draw with newly promoted Sheffield United, a result that would eventually see him lose his job at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

But, Pochettino's legacy at Spurs will carry a lot of memories for Tottenham fans, most memorably him leading them to their first ever Champions League final just six months ago.

Spurs fans watched on with pride as their players took to the pitch in Madrid against Liverpool.

That was a promise that Pochettino fufilled.

In one of his early interviews as Tottenham manager in 2014, the Argentine was asked if he had a message for fans.

"Yes, we will try to give everything to make you proud of this football club, of course," was his response.

Pochettino led Spurs to four consecutive top four Premier League finishes during his time in charge, pushing Leicester for the Premier League title in 2016.
