Pochettino extends with Spurs

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has signed a contract extension until 2021, the club said yesterday, ending media speculation the Argentine could be tempted elsewhere.

Pochettino's side will finish as top flight runners-up for the first time since 1964 if they beat Newcastle United on the final day of the season on Sunday, having pushed Leicester City hard for the title.

"We have seen Mauricio bring a tremendous spirit and ethos to our club and embrace the attacking style of play with which we have always been associated," chairman Daniel Levy said in a statement.
