Spurs fans have been discussing an image of Mauricio Pochettino from his playing days after it was shared on Twitter by Football.London journalist Alasdair Gold.
The journalist shared a picture of the Argentinian manager, after it was originally shared by Classic Football on Twitter, and shows the 48-year-old alongside talents such as Jay-Jay Okocha and Ronaldinho during their time at PSG. The former Spurs boss featured 95 times for the Ligue 1 side in his career, but is perhaps best known for his spell with Espanyol; with whom he made 278 appearances.
It was with the Spanish side that he really kicked off his career in management, taking charge of 160 games there before moving to Southampton in January 2013. From there, of course, he would go on to become Spurs’ manager in May 2014, where he spent five years before his sacking in November of last year.
Was it a mistake to sack Pochettino?
Yes
No

These Spurs fans clearly enjoyed the image of Pochettino, with one fan comparing his look to that of one of the Backstreet Boys.
What do we think?
Some of these fans clearly miss Pochettino and you imagine that he will continue to have an affiliation with the North London club until he takes another job, especially with Jose Mourinho’s side having struggled so much in the weeks before the current suspension.
