Mauricio Pochettino-Peters has reportedly turned down the opportunity to become the new Tottenham Hotspur manager, sources claim.
The news comes just hours after the surprise sacking of previous boss Mauricio Pochettino.
The youthful Pochettino-Peters is a relatively unknown figure at the North London club but is hotly-tipped by some insiders.

Spurs managerial academy mole Lee Satchell claims it would have been a step too far for Pochettino-Peters so early in his career.
He added: “You can see that the man is clearly talented and has been waiting for his big break for some time now.
“However, the opportunity has probably come a bit too quickly for the fella, so he’ll have to go away and keep working hard – perhaps even a loan move would help him progress. We’ll literally never know, really.”
Pochettino-Peters was unavailable for comment.
