“I always think it’s quite a sad state of affairs when a team of players actually plays better when their manager has been sacked”.

“It’s sad, for me, because when he came back two, three years ago, we were all delighted to see him in our game. I have a very good relationship with him and it is a hard moment for him”, said Pochettino. “It is not the first time these things are happening to big clubs”.
