Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino sounds upset at the moment.
Some Tottenham Hotspur fans are concerned about Mauricio Pochettino’s future after his comments yesterday.
Speaking to The Mirror on Tuesday, the Spurs manager hinted that he was no longer in charge of transfers in North London and suggested that his job title needs to be changed to coach.
Pochettino said: “Maybe the club need to change my title description now, because my job now is to coach the team.
“[Transfers are] not a question for me, they are a question for the club, and maybe they are going to change my title description. I am not in charge of this. I know nothing about the situation of my players, I am only coaching them, trying to get the best from them.
“This type of things, that are going to happen or not happen, sell or buy players,extend contracts or not extend contracts – it’s not in my hands, it’s in the club’s hands and in Daniel Levy’s hands.”
Tottenham are taking a worryingly-long time to wrap up a deal for Giovani Lo Celso, while Manchester United are now reportedly leading the race for Paulo Dybala.
It’s been a frustrating window for the North Londoners despite breaking their club record to sign £63 million midfielder Tanguy Ndombele.
As of now, they have signed just the one first-team player – Jack Clarke has re-signed for Leeds on loan – and some Lilywhites supporters are worried about their Argentine manager’s future after his outburst.
Tottenham have some eight days to get their house in order and add to the squad.
The good news is that a move for Ryan Sessegnon seems advanced, but missing out on Lo Celso, never mind Dybala, would be a travesty based on how long negotiations have spanned.
Pochettino’s side kick off their Premier League campaign by hosting Aston Villa on Saturday week.
