Tottenham players believe manager Mauricio Pochettino is trying to engineer a move out of the club.

The Daily Mail says the Argentine has become noticeably distant at the club's training centre since returning this summer.

After Tuesday's humiliating 7-2 defeat by Bayern Munich — the first time the club have ever conceded seven at home — Pochettino stressed the importance for the club to stick together.

However, his mood has led players to feel their manager is having doubts over his future.

here is no danger of Pochettino losing his job despite the club's disappointing start to the season. Tottenham having to pay £32million to sack him is a key reason his job is safe — although the club could recoup that if he was poached by another club.
