Robbie Keane has potential praised Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino.
The former Spurs striker revealed that Pochettino and his backroom staff including assistant Jesus Perez have been a great help during his early days in coaching.
Keane is the Republic of Ireland’s assistant manager and would combine his role in a similar position at Middlesbrough where he will work under ex-Spur Jonathan Woodgate.
Mauricio Pochettino has also extended a classy gesture by allowing Keane to come and watch Spurs train whenever he wishes at Hotspur Way to continue his coaching experience.
He told Off the Ball’s official YouTube account: “He’s been great. The door is always open if I want to go to the training ground and watch the lads train. The assistant manager, Jesus, who I get on very well with, has been brilliant.
“I have been fortunate in that respect that I have those people to call on and if I need to ask questions then they have been great.”
