Defeat to Newcastle my worst day ever as a manager – Pochettino

Tottenham Hotspur manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has apologised to their supporters after they were humiliated 5-1 by relegated Newcastle on Sunday and called it his “worst day as a manager”.

Spurs needed just a point to finish second, but despite the Magpies getting reduced to 10 men in the second half, they ended up losing.

Arsenal hammered Aston Villa 4-0 in their final game, to finish above their North London rivals for the 21st consecutive year.

“First of all, I would like to apologise to our fans, our team was terrible for them,” Pochettino said afterwards.

“It’s my worst day as a manager. Not just in England – in Spain, too.

“It’s very bad – I feel bad because the worst is that on the pitch we showed we don’t care about the position in the table. This upset me and disappointed me,” Pochettino said.

“It’s important to analyse the goals, the formation of the squad and make some decisions. In our head, yes, we wanted to be second. Of course.”
