Mauricio Pochettino has been superb for Tottenham Hotspur.

Tim Sherwood (jokingly) suggested on the Saturday Morning Savage show on BT Sport 1 on Saturday morning (11:41am, March 9, 2019) that Mauricio Pochettino could be sacked as the Tottenham Hotspur manager if the club fail to finish in the top four of the Premier League this season.

Tottenham are third in the Premier League table at the moment with 61 points from 29 matches.

Manchester United are only three points behind Spurs in fourth place, with Arsenal and Chelsea not far behind.

Former Tottenham manager Sherwood has jokingly suggested that Pochettino could lose his job at the North London outfit if he fails to guide the team to a top-four finish.

Sherwood said on the Saturday Morning Savage show on BT Sport 1 on Saturday morning (11:41am, March 9, 2019) when asked what next for Pochettino – Spurs, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain or Manchester United: “Spurs. I think he stays at Spurs. If Spurs were to fall out of the top four, he might even get sacked.”

Unlikely

Sherwood was being cheeky and was joking when he suggested that Tottenham could sack Pochettino if he fails to guide the club to a top-four finish in the Premier League this season.

While it will be a massive disappointment for Spurs if they do not feature in the Champions League next season, club chairman Daniel Levy is unlikely to find a better manager than Pochettino, who has worked wonders at the club since he was appointed in the role back in the summer of 2014.
