Tottenham Hotspur’s patience limit on Mauricio Pochettino ends with dismissal

By db-admin

DBasia.news –  After going through five seasons without any achievements, Tottenham Hotspur finally cut off the cooperation between the team and the manager, Mauricio Pochettino.

Tottenham’s narrative with Pochettino began in May 2014. Previously, the manager had coached Espanyol and Southampton.

At that time, not many were optimistic that Pochettino could bring Tottenham to the shine. Understandably, Pochettino does not have a big name, the Tottenham player’s material was not shiny.

Nevertheless, Pochettino had brushed aside the slanted view at the start of his season. The Argentine manager brought Tottenham to the final of the English League Cup in 2015. Unfortunately, Tottenham was destroyed by Chelsea.

Mauricio Pochettino is aware, Tottenham Hotspur is a team that has great potential. He is optimistic that Tottenham can talk more both in domestic and international competitions.

In his second season, Pochettino received several newer ammunitions such as Toby Alderweirld, Kieran Trippier, and Heung-min Son. Meanwhile, important players namely Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen, and Harry Kane survived.

Tottenham’s pace in the 2015-2016 season was one of the fastest. In fact, Tottenham is a strong contender for the champions, Leicester City. However, nothing can stop the fairy tale of The Foxes at that time. the two clubs are 11 points adrift at the end of the season.

From then on, Pochettino walked the career path as one of the best managers in the Premier League. He brought Tottenham always through the top four in four consecutive seasons. Previously, Tottenham could only reach the top four twice in 22 seasons.

Pochettino’s greatest trip with Tottenham occurred last season. In addition to consistently occupying the top four in the Premier League, Harry Kane and his colleagues also reached the Champions League final match.

Tottenham’s path through the final is not easy. The Lilywhites escaped the eye of a needle in the group stage competition. In addition, they also won a difficult victory against prospective champions, Manchester City. After that, the dark horse team, Ajax, Amsterdam, were given bitter pills.

However, Tottenham again failed at the top match. Facing fellow Premier League club, Liverpool, Tottenham is helpless by losing two goals without reply.
