Mauricio Pochettino mentioned Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton when sending a message to fans on Instagram this evening.
The message followed news that Pochettino had been officially signed as the new boss of Paris Saint Germain in France.
The Argentine thanked supporters for making him and his team feel happy and appreciated in England for the past seven years, labelling managing in the Premier League as a dream come true.
He also added that it was now time for him to embark on a new adventure with PSG, fulfilling a personal ambition of his.
Pochettino played for the French giants 95 times back in the early 2000s and even wore the captain’s armband in the heart of defence (Wikipedia).
The former Spurs head coach spent over five years in North London, taking Tottenham from Europa League dwellers to Champions League finalists before he was sacked in November 2019.
Over one year later and Poch is back in the hot seat, leading one of the biggest clubs in the world, while Spurs are being led by Jose Mourinho, one of the most famous managers in the world.
