Former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino says he has only watched the parts of the All or Nothing series he and his coaching staff are in.

Speaking to the Independent, Pochettino gave his thoughts on the documentary and the process of filming it.

He seemed to feel it did a bare minimum job of representing the fact he was at the club at the start of the series.

“I only watched the first 25 minutes with Jesus, because it was until we left. It was correct – no more, no less. It was like ‘ok, we need to put that Jesus, Toni, Mikki, Sebastiano and Mauricio were there,’” said Pochettino.

“It was very difficult to open the door to Amazon, to let them come into Tottenham at a tough moment for us.

“I feel sorry for Jesus, because he spent from seven in the morning trying to help the Amazon people to make it all work – with the players, with the staff, everything.

“I think after 25 minutes watching, I think Jesus appeared one time with me. Five-and-a-half years were only in a summary of 25 minutes and it was more to justify why we left the club. But I understand.”

Many fans may well have tuned into the series hoping for juicy details of Pochettino’s sacking.

As the Argentine says, he is very quickly introduced and kicked to one side, before the whole thing becomes the Jose Mourinho show.

It did feel a clinical way to portray the sacking of a manager who gave so much to Spurs and meant so much to the fans.

But as Pochettino says, these documentaries are something of a glossy video advert for the club at times.

They won’t show the club in an especially bad light. Further, one can imagine it wouldn’t have gone down well with Mourinho if the documentary fawned too much over his predecessor.

Did Pochettino really not watch the bits he wasn’t in? Who among us wouldn’t let curiosity get the better of us and watch how the players we signed worked under the new manager?
