Tottenham midfielder Lucas Moura: Pochettino sacking a crazy week

Tottenham midfielder Lucas Moura has been looking back at the dismissal of Mauricio Pochettino last month.

Like most of the Spurs squad, Moura was sad to seeMauricio Pochettino leave.

He said: “It was a crazy week for everyone, but it's ­normal in football. I don't need to say how good a job ­Mauricio did here. Five years, he put the club on another level and now it's another chapter for everyone, for the club and for Mauricio.

“I'm sure he will join a big club. Now we have a new coach, a new motivation and we have ­everything we need to keep going and arrive at our ­objectives.

“When we heard Jose ­Mourinho was our new manager, ­everyone was excited to work with him.

“Of course, he's a big name, a big impact for everyone.

“Everyone knows his career, how good he is, because he won trophies in every club he worked."
