Tottenham boss Pochettino: Maybe in one week I'm not here

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino admits they're in crisis.

Pochettino has admitted he could get sacked next week after confessing Tottenham's players have been left been “traumatised" by their disastrous run.

He said: “I am going to stick with the club, I am not going to criticise the club. All the decisions are our decisions and of course always with the club until the end.

“Maybe we are still here in five years or maybe in one week we are not here, but we will always be talking well about the club and helping them to achieve all they want.

“The only way we can stop that [criticism] is winning games and if we don't win, everyone is going to criticise more than now. And you know what is going to happen when we don't win games — the first responsible is me.

“I am so relaxed. In football, something can happen with the situation but I am going to give my best until the end.

“It's true, we concede a lot. It's something we talk a lot about but sometimes [if] you talk a lot and then it happens again, it's like you create a trauma.

“The way we concede the goals is so painful but it happens in football and we need to be strong. It's so important to keep our belief. I'm sure we will win games. The group is a little bit anxious, of course, about winning games."
