Along with their disappointing league form, they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by League Two side Colchester United and hammered 7-2 at home by Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

He also led the club to two third-placed finishes and a runners-up spot in the Premier League. Last season, he led Spurs to a runners-up finish in Champions League and a fourth-place in the league although they did only manage to win three of their final 12 league games. Since taking over the club, Mauricio Pocchettino has transformed the club into genuine title contenders. He forged a strong core at the club with the likes of Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Heung-min Son and others. And despite unable to lead the club to a winners' medal, his time at the club will be fondly remembered by fans as Spurs look to move in a new direction.
