We caught up for a quick chat with Mauricio Pochettino as he took time out from a hectic week at the Training Centre since taking over as our new Head Coach.

The former Espanyol and Southampton boss joined us on a five-year contract last month.

He described it as an ‘absolute honour’ to take over and talked about his coaching staff - Jesus Perez (Assistant Head Coach), Miguel D’Agostino (First Team Coach) and Toni Jiminez (Goalkeeping Coach) - and his plans for pre-season. Mauricio also confirmed that he has made Steffen Freund part of his first team coaching staff.

And he finished with this message to the fans: “We will try to give everything to make you proud of this football club.”
