Published on November 29, 2019, Mauricio Pochettino's tenure as Tottenham Hotspur manager came to an end last week after a 5-1/2-year stint.
The Argentine's departure followed a poor run of results in all competitions this season, with Jose Mourinho taking over and guiding the team to two wins in two games.
Speaking for the first time since losing his job, Pochettino reflected on his time at Spurs, saying, "I gave the best of me to accomplish the objectives I was asked for in our first meeting. There were equally tough challenges as exciting success."
He also expressed gratitude to owner Joe Lewis, chairman Daniel Levy, and the club staff and players he worked with during his time at Tottenham.
"I'd like to thank Joe Lewis and Daniel Levy for giving me the opportunity to be part of Tottenham's history... also everyone I met at Tottenham, club staff and football players during these 5-1/2 years," Pochettino said in a statement released by the League Managers Association.
