Joe Hart has made a joke about his Tottenham Hotspur teammate Matt Doherty on Instagram.
The Tottenham goalkeeper has said that Doherty is the teacher’s pet.
The former Manchester City star made the comment in regard to Nuno being appointed as the new head coach of Tottenham.
Doherty, 29, worked with Nuno at Wolves.
The Republic of Ireland international, who can play as a right-back or as a right wing-back, cost Spurs £14.7 million last summer when they signed him from Premier League rivals Wolves, as reported by The Guardian at the time.
Hart is obviously jokingly, but Nuno coming to Spurs could see Doherty get back to his best.
The 29-year-old was played as a wing-back under Nuno at Wolves, and perhaps he will be deployed in that role at Spurs.
The former Wolves man is a very good player who is at his peak at the age of 29.
Doherty made 13 starts and four substitute appearances in the Premier League for Spurs last season.
The right-back gave two assists in those games.
The Tottenham no.2 also gave two assists in seven Europa League games last season.
Spurs will be determined to finish in the Premier League top four next season, and Doherty will play a big role in that quest.
