Mauricio Pochettino is the new head coach of Tottenham after the former Argentine defender resigned as boss of Southampton. The 42-year-old has signed a five-year contract with the north London club, and becomes Spurs' eighth permanent boss in the 13 years since Daniel Levy took control of the club.

Five of those managers have come in the last seven years and in the last 12 months Tottenham have worked their way through Andre Villas-Boas and Tim Sherwood, the latter taking Spurs to a sixth-place finish in the Premier League last season.
