The Argentine resigned from Southampton after 18 months with the club.<\/p>\n

The 42-year-old becomes Tottenham’s 10th manager since 2001 and replaces\u00a0Tim Sherwood who was sacked on 13 May.<\/a><\/p>\n

“This is a club with tremendous history and prestige and I am honoured to have been given this opportunity to be its head coach,” Pochettino told\u00a0the Spurs website.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Pochettino’s assistant Jesus Perez, first team coach Miguel D’Agostino and goalkeeping coach Toni Jimenez have also left Southampton to join him at Spurs.<\/p>\n

“There is an abundance of top-class talent at the club and I am looking forward to starting work with the squad,” he added.<\/p>\n

“Tottenham Hotspur has a huge following across the world and I have great admiration for the passion the fans show for this team.<\/p>\n

“We are determined to give the supporters the kind of attacking football and success that we are all looking to achieve.”<\/p>\n

The former Espanyol boss took over at Southampton in January 2013,\u00a0when he replaced Nigel Adkins,<\/a>\u00a0and led them to eighth place in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

His future at St Mary’s had been in question, following the\u00a0departure of chairman Nicola Cortese in January.<\/a><\/p>\n

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy said: “He has a proven ability to develop each player as an individual, whilst building great team spirit and a winning mentality.”<\/p>\n

Southampton chairman Ralph Krueger said: “We will be looking for a manager that shares our values, our principles and our philosophy; a manager who can continue to grow the first team.”<\/p>\n
