Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has signed a new five-year contract, ending speculation over his future at the Premier League club. The Argentine, who has led Spurs to three successive top-three finishes in the Premier League, has penned fresh terms to keep him in north London until 2023. Following the FA Cup semi-final defeat against Manchester United, he hinted at a future with somebody else at the helm, even if there was no indication he was intending to step down. Spurs sealed Champions League football for a third straight season by finishing third in the Premier League despite having reportedly just the sixth highest wage bill behind Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. But despite their rapid improvement in recent years both domestically and in Europe, Spurs have not won silverware since 2008.
