Tottenham Hotspur boss was seen almost spitting his water out in a press conference today as he cracked up at a Jose Mourinho joke.
The former Man United and Chelsea manager had claimed earlier in the week that there were four contenders for the title, Man City, Liverpool, Spurs, and Man City’s B Team (Guardian).
While the joke forced a laugh from Pochettino, he also claimed that it was important for a coach such as Mourinho to believe that his side have a chance of winning the title.
“A coach like Mourinho believing in our potential to be a contender is important.”
Mauricio Pochettino has expressed his admiration for Jose Mourinho, after the Portuguese claimed Manchester City’s reserve team could rival Tottenham and Liverpool for the Premier League title.
