Tottenham legend wouldn't swap Pochettino "for any other manager in the world"

Tottenham Hotspur icon Osvaldo Ardiles says he would not swap Mauricio Pochettino “for any other manager in the world”. Ardiles said: “Over the last four or five years, (chairman) Daniel Levy has had to make big commercial decisions about building a new stadium and building a team to fill it. “When you compiled a list of the five biggest clubs in England, Tottenham was probably not among them – on the fringes, in the margins, but not one of the big five - but now they have one of the best training grounds in the world and the new stadium is nearly ready. “And the biggest decision of all by Daniel was to go out and bring in Mauricio Pochettino as the coach. “I would not change Mauricio for any manager in the world: Under him, Tottenham has become a contender all the time, we are playing in the Champions League every year and last year we beat Real Madrid in the group. “You must remember this Tottenham team is still very young – Harry Kane is only 25, Dele Alli is 22 – and the outlook for their squad as a whole is very, very positive. “To bring players in, they would have to be better than the ones already at the club, so I admire them for sticking with players instead of panic-buying. “I’m incredibly happy that we have kept certain players, like Toby Alderweireld and Danny Rose, when a lot of people were saying they were off. “So in all, it’s an exciting time to be associated with Tottenham – a wonderful manager, wonderful players, a wonderful training facility and, soon, a wonderful new stadium. “They are competitive in every regard. “Now they just need to take the final step by turning contenders into winners.”
