Davies in shock after Tottenham sack Pochettino

The Wales defender found out about his manager's departure following a crucial win on the international stage

Tottenham left-back Ben Davies admits the club's decision to sack Mauricio Pochettino has come as "a big shock" and stressed it's a shame to see the Argentine depart.

Davies was one of Pochettino's first signings in 2014 when he was appointed as manager on a five-year contract.

The Welsh defender was playing for his country on Tuesday night in a crucial Euro 2020 qualifier against Hungary, which his side won 2-0 as news of Pochettino's sacking broke.
