Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has issued a message to Ange Postecoglou - and revealed that he still tries to watch his former club in action.

Pochettino spent five years as Spurs manager from 2014-19, guiding the club to a Champions League final before leaving North London a few months later. The 52-year-old eventually went on to manage Paris Saint-Germain before becoming Chelsea boss for the 2023/24 campaign.

After just one season at Stamford Bridge, Pochettino left the Premier League once again and is now enjoying his new role as head coach of the United States national team. Despite leaving Tottenham more than five years ago, Pochettino has shown he still has a connection to the club with his latest admission and also had a message for Postecoglou.

"I watch all the games that I can," Pochettino replied when asked if he finds to watch any Premier League football since moving to the United States. "And, of course, one of the teams that I always watch is Tottenham, for sure."

Pochettino added: "He's [Postecoglou] a great coach. Great club, great fans. It's impossible to say anything but good things about everyone there."

Pochettino was also asked about the challenge facing Postecoglou at Spurs this season. Despite Tottenham exiting two competitions over the last week and sitting in 14th place in the Premier League table, Pochettino has given a vote of confidence in Postecoglou.

"That is football, that is life. Sometimes ups, sometimes downs. That is what happens," said Pochettino.

"We are colleagues, we are coaches. Always we need to be focused on ourselves, and every single coach in the world has their ideas and the capacity to change things."
