Pochenttino Renews Contract

Born in Murphy Santa Fe, Pochettino started his professional career with Newell's Old Boys, moving to RCD Espanyol in Spain for the 1994-95 season as the Catalans had just returned to the La-Liga, He was an undisputed starter in his six-and-a-half years stay, helping the club to the 2000 quest of the Copa del Rey.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has signed an extension to his contract keeping him with them until 2021.

The Argentinian head coach still had three years to run on his current deal at White Hart Lane but the north London outfit have offered extended terms after leading Spurs to second spot in the Premier League this season.

Tottenham can record their most successive Premier League campaign since its inception next weekend when they face Newcastle and the former Southampton and Espanyol boss has been rewarded for his work.

Pochettino has changed Tottenham's on-pitch fortunes since his switch from the Saints in May 2014, leading them to the cusp of the Champions League last year before bettering that form during the 2015-16 season.

The 44-year-old has been lauded for his use of young English players during his tenure in England and has aided the development and breakthrough of several talented prospects such as Harry Kane, Eric Dier and Dele Alli.

Despite recent rumours suggesting Manchester United were interested in taking Pochettino on board in the off-season, the Spurs coach has now dismissed any possibility of a move away.
