Tottenham are enduring a difficult season, with the club struggling in the bottom half of the Premier League and already eliminated from both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.
With frustrations mounting among supporters, tensions were evident during Spurs’ FA Cup defeat to Aston Villa, where sections of the fanbase voiced their discontent.
While Villa fans taunted manager Ange Postecoglou, Spurs supporters responded by singing the name of former boss Mauricio Pochettino, reminiscing about the success he brought to North London.
In response to hearing his name being sung, Pochettino has acknowledged his enduring bond with the Tottenham fanbase.
The Argentine expressed his appreciation for the supporters, emphasising that his connection with the club remains strong.
He also praised the quality of the squad and the passionate fanbase, reinforcing his admiration for Spurs despite parting ways with the club six years ago.
Via SPORTbible on Instagram, Pochettino remarked:
“My relationship with Spurs fans, the love is there after 6 years. Tottenham have a great squad, players, fans. The club is amazing.”
Mauricio Pochettino’s tenure at Tottenham
Pochettino’s tenure at Tottenham from 2014 to 2019 remains one of the most celebrated periods in the club’s modern history. Under his guidance, Spurs developed into a consistent top-four side, challenging for the Premier League title and reaching their first-ever Champions League final in 2019.
His tenure also saw the emergence of key players like Harry Kane and Dele Alli, who thrived under his management.
However, despite his achievements, Pochettino was dismissed in November 2019, with the club struggling domestically at the time.
His departure was met with disappointment from many fans, and their admiration for him has not faded over the years.
While Tottenham are navigating a challenging campaign under Postecoglou, it is crucial to acknowledge the circumstances surrounding their struggles.
A long list of injuries has severely impacted the squad, making it difficult to maintain consistency.
Despite the challenges, the Australian manager continues to work towards stability, and the team will look to regain momentum in the final half of the campaign
