Mauricio Pochettino says he will stay at Spurs

    Mauricio Pochettino has said he will remain as manager of Tottenham Hotspurs next season, denying reports of a buy-out clause in his contract.

    The 45-year-old has been in charge at Spurs since joining from Southampton in May 2014 on a five-year deal.

    In May of last year the Argentine signed a contract extension, committing him to the club until 2021.

    "There are many rumours, but I am committed with the club," he said.

    "There is no reason to leave. I will be here for pre-season. There is no buy-out clause in my contract, I will stay here next season."

    The London club guaranteed finishing second-place in the Premier League this season after beating Manchester United 2-1 on Sunday, 14 May.

    The match was the last at White Hart Lane. Fans bid an emotional farewell to the ground as diggers moved in to renovate the site for a new 61,000-seater stadium, which will be ready for the 2018-19 campaign.

    Home matches next season will be played at Wembley.
