Mauricio Pochettino favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his job after Spurs lose 7-2 to Bayern - but wants to stay

Pochettino was slashed to favouritism after his side suffered a humiliating 7-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, after which the Argentinian confessed that his side had downed tools late on.

"Of course we are very disappointed, very upset, but we need to stay all together. A message of togetherness and (staying) strong in our mentality," he said.

"I say football is today, it's not yesterday. It's not about experience, it's not about what happened three months ago. Football always is today, to give your best and today we are disappointed. Every single touch of Bayern was very clinical, they scored on every single touch, that is tough to accept. We need to move on.

"This type of situation you need to face. You need to face (it) and be strong and keep going. We need to stay all together, helping each other because the best medicine is to be all together. Not to try and escape the situation.

"When you receive this type of result I think it's important to bounce back and stay together and believe in yourself."

Spurs started their Champions League clash well enough when Son Heung-min opened the scoring but apart from when Harry Kane pulled one back at 4-1 down it was relentless one-way traffic.

The Bundesliga champions ran riot as former Arsenal winger Serge Gnabry bagged four, Robert Lewandowski bagged a brace and Joshua Kimmich also found the net.

It's the biggest ever margin of defeat by an English side at home in Europe while it's also the first time Tottenham have conceded seven goals at their own ground in any major competition.

Not only are last year's runners-up in danger of a group stage exit after taking one point from their opening two games, but it further adds to their woes this season after a sluggish start to the Premier League and an embarrassing Carabao Cup exit to League Two side Colchester.

To compound their misery, Spurs become the first English side to concede seven goals in any European competition since they themselves lost 0-8 to FC Koln in the UEFA Intertoto Cup in July 1995.

Pochettino, who suffered his joint heaviest ever defeat as a manager in all competitions alongside a 0-5 loss to Real Madrid in March 2012, saw his odds cut to 6/4 from as big as 12/1 before kick-off but they've now been eased to 2/1.

Next in the running with Sky Bet is Everton boss Marco Silva at 4/1 while Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is 5/1 ahead of 6/1 chance Steve Bruce at Newcastle.
