Mauricio Pochettino makes surprise admission on Huge Lloris’ drink-drive charge

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino says he “never considered” stripping Hugo Lloris of the Spurs’ captaincy after his drink-drive charge. France's World Cup-winning goalkeeper spent seven hours in custody during the early hours of last Friday morning after failing a roadside breathalyser test at 2.20am in central London. Pochettino is adamant he did not once think of taking the armband away from him. He said: "No, I never considered [stripping him of the captaincy]. What happened was such a bad experience for him. "He feels so sorry. He apologised to everyone, but not only apologised to our fans, us, the club and he shows his regret and apologised to the whole country because that responsibility is massive. "I think it was a good lesson for everyone, a massive lesson. "He's punishing himself. "He feels so sorry and so bad because he knows that he made a big mistake, but in the same way I think he's a man out of character. "We are going to, of course, support him but knowing that we cannot justify, of course. "There's no sense to take some decision like you told me." United supporters chanted at Lloris: "He's still on the p***, he's still on the p***, Hugo Lloris, he's still on the p***."
