Tottenham sack Mauricio Pochettino: The three other departures from Spurs after his dismissal

Mauricio Pochettino has lost his job as manager of Tottenham Hotspur. He is not the only staff member who has left the club after more than five years at Spurs.

In a statement published on the club's official website, chairman Daniel Levy thanked his former manager for play his part in the history of the north London side.

Last season, the Argentinian took Tottenham to a Champions League final, only to lose to Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.

He has now been sacked after taking Spurs to 14th in the Premier League 12 games into the new season and losing 7-2 to Bayern Munich in the group stage of the Champions League.

Pochettino's three key lieutenants have joined him in leaving Spurs.

"Yes. Look, although you never know. We are latinos. I like this city, La Liga and I love this club," he told  Diario La Grada .

"I am enjoying England very much, and I don’t know when or where, but I would love to return to Spain."
