Frank has no issue with Tottenham fans singing about Pochettino
Thomas Frank has no problem with Tottenham fans singing about former boss Mauricio Pochettino.
Spurs go into Tuesdays match at home to Newcastle on a run of two wins in 16 Premier League matches and only six points above the relegation zone.
It has sparked fears for survival among the Tottenham fanbase, who in recent weeks have chanted about ex-boss Pochettino.
Pochettino masterminded tilts at the Premier League and Champions League during a largely successful five-year spell between 2014 and 2019, and referenced his special connection with the club on the High Performance Podcast on Sunday.
Asked if it was unhelpful to have Pochettino talking about his old team, and supporters singing his name, Frank was diplomatic.
I met Mauricio a few times. Great guy, a great coach. I think hes a legend (here), Frank said.
I dont think he won a trophy, but he was part of transforming the club, from where it was at that stage to where it ended being in terms of being close to winning the Premier League title and getting into the Champions League final.
If you are close, then you are very close to winning it. Sometimes its football, its margins.
Pochettino did a top job here and is a true legend, so if the fans sing his name, its well deserved.
Frank was asked nine times about relegation during Mondays press conference, but refused to engage in the subject and repeated his focus was on the next match.
