Mauricio Pochettino ends speculation by signing Tottenham contract extension

Good news, Spurs fans - your manager isn't going anywhere.

So, it would seem, Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino was just having lunch and Uefa-based coaching chats with Alex Ferguson after all. The Argentine coach has led the London club back into the Champions League, taking Spurs to the brink of a top two finish playing an attractive brand of football, and fans will be delighted to learn he has extended his deal until 2021. https://twitter.com/SpursOfficial/status/730719003681918977 Pochettino led Spurs to a fifth-place finish after arriving from Southampton before the start of last season, and has given debuts to fan favourites Eric Dier and Dele Alli. He had been linked with a move to Chelsea before the appointment of Antonio Conte, while Manchester United were also rumoured to be interested in the Argentine. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/730317522407460864 However, the new, long-term deal should end speculation of that ilk. Supporters have taken to Twitter to express their delight at the news. https://twitter.com/thfc_edits/status/730722051238047744 https://twitter.com/markhillman2/status/730722007168454656 https://twitter.com/dgvincent1/status/730721700204138496

Some have taken note of the new job title held by the former Espanyol boss, even if it's only symbolic.
