Were Tottenham right to sack Mauricio Pochettino?

Tom Doyle19 November 2019

The decision has been made: Tottenham have parted ways with Mauricio Pochettino.

Pochettino, along with his coaching staff, has paid the price for a poor run of domestic form in 2019, bringing an end to a five-and-a-half-year spell at the club.

During that time he delivered four successive top-four finishes in the Premier League, which included two title challenges, a memorable run to the European Cup final last season and developed the likes of Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Son Heung-min and Christian Eriksen into top-class players.

He also had to contend with playing at Wembley for 18 months while Tottenham's new stadium was built and went through two transfer windows without signing anyone.

But chairman Daniel Levy grew impatient with a decline in form this calendar year as Spurs took only 23 points from their last 24 Premier League games.

They have won just three times this season and as well as a 7-2 humiliation against Bayern Munich in the Champions League last month, they were also beaten by League Two Colchester in the Carabao Cup.

But what do you think? Had Pochettino run out of ideas, or did he deserve more time to turn things around?
