Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is not at risk of losing his job at White Hart Lane.
That is despite the humiliation of Tuesday night when Spurs suffered their worst ever home defeat, and endured the biggest ever loss by an English club in European football, as they were thrashed by Bayern Munich 7 – 2.
However, Pochettino still enjoys support from within the club, and he continues to receive the backing of Chairman Daniel Levy.
Pochettino and his squad met on Wednesday as they underwent a lengthy post-mortem about what went wrong against the German champions.
Following that defeat, bookmakers slashed the odds on the Argentine being sacked, whilst supports and pundits are divided in their opinion as to whether he will leave the North London club.
The 47 year old only signed a new five year deal worth £8.5 million annually last May, so to get rid of him at this juncture would be a very expensive proposition for Spurs anyway.
