Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino doesn’t have a fan in Younes Kaboul.
Speaking to France Football, Younes Kaboul has hit out at Mauricio Pochettino for his treatment of him at Tottenham Hotspur.
Kaboul only had a year at Tottenham before Pochettino sold him to Sunderland in the summer of 2015.
The five-time France international was used sparingly by the Argentine coach during the 2014-15 campaign, only making 11 Premier League appearances.
It is widely acknowledged that Pochettino has taken Spurs to a new level entirely in recent years.
And although Kaboul – now at Watford – does not have a bad word to say about the 47-year-old in regards to getting results, he believes that his behind-the-scenes methods leave a bit to be desired.
“The one where things didn’t go well was Pochettino. On the field, nothing to say, very good manager, with a philosophy and a style of play that works,” he told France Football magazine.
“Personally, it’s the opposite. He’s two faced. He would say things to you and did the complete opposite behind your back. I didn’t like that, and I told him. That’s all.”
Pochettino and chairman Daniel Levy have come under fire from Tottenham fans over the past week after failing to sign a single player during the summer transfer window.
They got off to a winning start in the Premier League after beating Newcastle United at St James’s Park, but time will tell whether that result merely papered over the cracks.
Kaboul, who earns around £31,000 per week with the Hornets [Silly Season], spent five years in North London with Spurs.
