On November 21, 2019, Tottenham Hotspur's former manager Mauricio Pochettino left a heartfelt message for his players after being sacked by the club. The message, written on a tactics board, was posted on Twitter by his assistant Jesus Perez.
"Big thanks to you all," Pochettino wrote. "We can't say goodbye... you will always be in our hearts."
Spurs players also took to Twitter to thank Pochettino for shaping their careers. Striker Harry Kane wrote, "I'll be forever thankful to you for helping me achieve my dreams," while team mate Dele Alli tweeted, "He's taught me so much and I'm so grateful for everything he's done for me."
Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho was appointed as Pochettino's replacement on November 20, 2019, six months after Pochettino led the club to the Champions League final.
