(CNN) -- Mauricio Pochettino is the latest incumbent of Tottenham Hotspur's managerial hot seat. The London club have appointed the Argentinean after raiding fellow English Premier League outfit Southampton for his services. Pochettino guided Saints to their highest ever EPL finish last season and was credited with bringing through a talented clutch of youngsters at the club. The 42-year-old now has the task of guiding Spurs into the lucrative European Champions League, knowing failure could cost him his job. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy sacked two managers in less than six months -- first Andre Villas-Boas then Tim Sherwood -- for failing to deliver a top-four place.
