Tottenham legend Glenn Hoddle has told talkSPORT Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino would “work wonders” if he is appointed the club’s next manager.

Spurs are on the search for their tenth boss in 13 years under chairman Daniel Levy having given Tim Sherwood the boot at the end of the season after just six months in charge.

Pochettino, who has impressed during his 18 months at the Saints helm, is current favourite for the job, and Hoddle believes the 42-year-old Argentine would bring the best from Spurs’ expensively assembled, yet underperforming, squad.

“I think Pochettino is a super young manager,” the Spurs hero told the Warm Up.

“He has done a brilliant job at Southampton and I think he would be a very good acquisition for Tottenham.

“I’ve been very impressed with the way he’s had Southampton playing this year, and I think with the squad at Tottenham I think he could do real wonders there.”

Hoddle also insisted Tottenham have to focus on bringing some continuity to the club, and warned Spurs that they may struggle to climb into the top four if they don’t put a stop to their revolving door of managerial appointments.

“I think Spurs have to look at some continuity in the long-term and if they don’t do that they’ll struggle.

“Changing the manager too many times in a short period of time isn’t healthy for the club or the success the fans want.”
