Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has been raving about the club’s new stadium.
Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has instantly fallen in love with the club’s new stadium.
Pochettino was in attendance for the first test event at the new ground on Sunday, as the under-18s’s beat Southampton 3-1.
Pochettino spoke on the pitch at half-time and is quoted by The Mail saying he felt close to tears.
He said: “I think it is unbelievable, it is so difficult to explain in only a few words.
“We all feel the same, so excited, I got the same feeling when we left White Hart Lane on the last day, we were crying and now in the first day in the new stadium we feel the same emotion.
“We need to cry because our dream became true.”
Pochettino’s day was made even more special as his son Maurizio came off the bench for the under-18s to play in the final 20 minutes.
The Argentine clearly has a strong connection with the club and his comments surely make it even more unlikely that he could walk away.
The Mirror reported just 24 hours earlier that Spurs still fear they could lose Pochettino to Manchester United this summer.
His comments made at Tottenham’s new stadium should have the club’s hierarchy feeling a bit more secure.
