The 25-year-old is delighted with the Tottenham Hotspur boss.

Kieran Trippier has told Tottenham Hotspur’s official website that Mauricio Pochettino is a world-class manager.

The Argentine has arguably propelled Spurs to a new plateau in recent years, with the Lilywhites being Leicester City’s main challengers for the Premier League title last term but Tottenham’s bid for a first top-flight league crown since 1961 fell short.

Still, Pochettino has built a superb squad during his two years in North London and, at just 44, is widely considered among the best young managers in Europe.

The former Southampton boss extended his contract until 2021 toward the end of last season as Tottenham sought to stave off interest from Paris Saint-Germain, and Manchester United to a lesser extent.

And Trippier, whom Pochettino signed from Burnley in 2015, cannot say enough good things about his manager.

“He demands a lot from us as individuals and also collectively as a team”, the 25-year-old right-back told the club’s official television channel.

“It’s very important that you need to listen to what he says and take it onto the field. When it comes to man-management, one to one, he’s the best. And as a group, he’s the best also.

“He has got everything and that’s why he is a world class manager.”

Pochettino’s side visit Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
