Tottenham boss Pochettino: I won't run away like a kid

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino says he won't walk out on the club.

Poch is under fire after Tuesday's 7-2 thrashing at home to Bayern Munich.

But he claims when he told his players to “man- up" afterwards he was referring to himself.

He said: “I am responsible for the situation of the team. I cannot escape or run away like a kid.

“You need to behave like a man, face the problems and stick to your ideas. Be the leader the team need."

Poch added: “This is a moment to stay all together.

“I accept the opinions when you don't win. In the end, all that happened is that we lost a game."
