Mauricio Pochettino has been at Tottenham Hotspur since 2014.

Mark Lawrenson has suggested on BBC Sport that Mauricio Pochettino will leave Tottenham Hotspur soon.

The Liverpool legend believes that Pochettino looks tired, and has stated that he would not be surprised if the Argentine manager left Spurs in the near future.

Lawrenson wrote about Pochettino on BBC Sport: “It would not surprise me if Tottenham manager Pochettino leaves the club in the near future.

“Since the summer, some of the things he has said – like when he talked about how he is ‘only the coach’ and has no say in transfers – makes it feel to me like he is in the process of a long break-up.

“I have thought for a while that Pochettino looks tired and how it looks like being Spurs manager has become a chore for him – but maybe he does not need time out of football, just out of Tottenham.”

Tottenham Hotspur exit?

Pochettino has been in charge of Tottenham since 2014, and he has made Spurs title challengers in the Premier League and regulars in the Champions League.

Things are not going well at the moment, with Spurs having suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich in the Champions League in midweek and also in indifferent form in the Premier League.

However, Tottenham have shown time and again that they can and do bounce back from disappointing results, and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium faithful should be confident that the team will recover from the loss at the hands of Bayern quickly.

Spurs will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Brighton and Hove Albion away from home in the Premier League.
