With a second-place finish within their grasp and managerial uncertainty still an issue elsewhere, Tottenham are finding a grounding in their manager who has impressed so much this season.

The 44-year-old had verbally agreed his new contract in April, but the club had to ensure there is a blueprint to formally confirm the contract.

There is much to be enjoyed about how the Argentine manager has conducting himself this campaign: his attacking brand of football, the promotion of young English talents and the fearless way Spurs have gone about their business.

Meanwhile, Roberto Martinez who was appointed as the Everton manager on June 5, 2013, has been sacked with immediate effect.

The decision was reached after the Toffees managed to pick up only four points in the Premier League since March 5.

Their 3-0 loss to Sunderland on Wednesday, May 11, stretched their dismal run of form to just one win in 10 matches in all competitions.

The management of the club is yet to name any replacement.
