Tim Sherwood insists there is zero chance of Daniel Levy sacking Mauricio Pochettino as Tottenham manager.

Spurs have been hammered at home by Bayern Munich and humiliated at Brighton in the past week and, for the first time in his five-year reign, Pochettino’s position is under scrutiny.

Tony Cascarino has even claimed that the Argentine may have just one match left in charge, predicting he will be ‘finished’ if his side lose to Watford after the international break.

But Sherwood is adamant that Pochettino’s job is safe and has rubbished suggestions Tottenham are a club in crisis.

“Daniel Levy is one of the most astute men in football; do you think he in his right mind will sack Mauricio Pochettino?” said Sherwood, who has been a player, manager and technical director during Levy’s time as chairman of the north London club.

“He has got so much credit in the bank with that football club. There is no way he will sack Mauricio Pochettino – not in a million years.

“Now if Mauricio decides he has had enough and he can take the club no further and he wants to move on to pastures new, then I still think he is mad to do that. I think he is the man for the job. I don’t want to him leave. I love the guy, I love the football club.

“Everything is great [at Tottenham]. Even last night we saw that first NFL game at the stadium and it was fantastic. Everything is going brilliantly for Tottenham but they have to get over this bump in the road. Every club has it.

“I still believe they qualify for the Champions League knockout stages and I still believe, at 5/4, it is great money for them to finish in the top four this season.”
