Former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood believes there is no chance that Daniel Levy will sack Mauricio Pochettino.
The Spurs boss has come under increasing pressure following his side's poor run of form, with Saturday's 3-0 defeat away to Brighton coming just days after his side were thrashed by Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
But despite his odds being slashed over the weekend to be the next manager to depart, Sherwood believes that under no circumstances would the Argentine's departure come as a result of Levy sacking him.
"Daniel Levy is one of the most astute men in football; do you think he in his right mind will sack Mauricio Pochettino?” Sherwood told talkSPORT on Monday morning.
"He has got so much credit in the bank with that football club.
"There is no way he will sack Mauricio Pochettino – not in a million years.
"Now if Mauricio decides he has had enough and he can take the club no further and he wants to move on to pastures new, then I still think he is mad to do that.
"I think he is the man for the job. I don’t want to him leave. I love the guy, I love the football club.
“Everything is great [at Tottenham].
"Even last night we saw that first NFL game at the stadium and it was fantastic.
"Everything is going brilliantly for Tottenham but they have to get over this bump in the road.
"Every club has it.
"I still believe they qualify for the Champions League knockout stages and I still believe, at 5/4, it is great money for them to finish in the top four this season."
