Gary Neville raves about Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Gary Neville has named Tottenham Hotspur head coach Mauricio Pochettino as the most impressive manager in the Premier League.

Neville interviewed both Pochettino and Chelsea boss Antonio Conte for SkySports’ Premier League Preview on Wednesday morning (8/8 9am).

And he was particularly effervescent afterwards when he was asked for his thoughts.

Neville raved about Tottenham’s manager and the job he has done so far at the North London club.

He said: “The work he does is brilliant, the ideas he gives players, the belief to younger players. He can deliver amazing results.

“He’s the most impressive, the budget isn’t there, he’s not spent £250 million. He’s had to get a lot of guff out of that club too and work that transfer market.”

Neville though added that he feels the investment Manchester United and Manchester City have made, makes them most likely to challenge Chelsea for the title.

He said: “I knew it [the investment] would be big but I didn’t expect the level of shift in transfer markets seen this summer.”

Tottenham are yet to sign any players although there is still three weeks remaining before the transfer window closes.

This only makes Pochettino’s job harder – and success even more satisfying if they can end the season winning trophies.
