Spurs Stars Harry Kane And Dele Alli Send Heartfelt Messages To Pochettino
Tottenham Hotspur stars Harry Kane and Dele Alli have sent heartfelt messages to their former manager Mauricio Pochettino following his dismissal last night.
Spurs relieved the Argentine of his duties following a woeful start to the new Premier League season – which has left them 11 points off the top-four after 12 games – and have since replaced him with Jose Mourinho.
Pochettino helped turn some of Tottenham’s best players into the stars they are today, and it’s no surprise to see both Kane and Alli react thus to his sacking of Twitter:
Gaffer. I’ll be forever thankful to you for helping me achieve my dreams. We’ve had some amazing moments in the last 5 and a half years that I will never forget. You were my manager but my friend as well and I thank you for that relationship. Good luck with your next chapter!
I can’t thank this man enough. He’s taught me so much and I’m so grateful for everything he’s done for me. Good luck and hope to see you again my friend.
Spurs signed Alli from League One side Milton Keynes Dons in February 2015, and the 23-year-old linked up with them the following summer.
He hit the ground running under Pochettino’s tutelage, and has since scored 55 goals in 193 appearances for Tottenham, emerging as the PFA Young Player of the Year twice and making the PFA Team of the Year thrice.
Kane became Spurs’ first-choice striker under the Argentine, and he rewarded Poch’s trust in him with 128 league goals in 179 appearances.
Both players will hugely miss their friend, and it will be interesting to see how they fare under Mourinho.
Ex-Tottenham striker admits he can’t rule out Postecoglou winning the Premier League this season
One former Tottenham and Manchester United believes that Ange Postecoglou’s side have the potential to surprise people this season
Louis Saha says he cannot rule out Tottenham Hotspur surprising everyone and winning the Premier League this season.
Spurs have started the Ange Postecoglou era well and sit in second place in the fledgling table, having won three of their first four matches and drawn the other. The Australian has made it very clear that there will be bumps in the road ahead and that the team are only just beginning to take on what he wants from them.
However, Saha believes he has seen enough to believe that this new-look Tottenham side could surprise a few people this season, especially without a busy game schedule after failing to qualify for European contention.
“Yes, because everything is possible,” he told Betfred when asked if Tottenham might win trophies. They have a large roster, they’re playing well, and after watching Leicester City win the Premier League, I’m not saying Tottenham Hotspur can’t win the Premier League this season.
