Mauricio Pochettino has released his first statement since being sacked as manager of Tottenham.
The Premier League was rocked last week when Pochettino was replaced by Jose Mourinho at the Spurs helm in the space of 24 hours.
A statement from Pochettino, via the League Managers' Association, read: "I would like to thank Joe Lewis and Daniel Levy for giving me the opportunity to be part of Tottenham Hotspur's history.
"I would like to thank also everyone I met at Tottenham, all the club staff and the football players during these five and a half years.
"Finally I would like to give a special mention to the fans who make this club so great with their fantastic support.
"I gave the best of me to accomplish the objectives I was asked for in our first meeting. There were equally tough challenges as exciting success.
"Best wishes for the future, I am sure we will cross paths again."
