Tottenham have offered Mauricio Pochettino’s son a scholarship at their academy.

Unlike the Spurs boss, who played centre half for Argentina, 15-year-old Maurizio is a winger who has been in the club’s Under 16 team this season.

Pochettino’s eldest son Sebastiano, 21, also started work at Tottenham as a sports scientist after studying at Southampton Solent University.

His sons were both born in Barcelona when he was playing for Espanyol.

It is four years tomorrow since Pochettino arrived in England as manager of Southampton. He is developing roots in north London and has signed a new contract at Spurs until 2021.

‘My wife points out to me what I’ve achieved here in just four years,’ said the 44-year-old in an interview with Argentinian newspaper La Nacion.

Spurs are flying high in the league but their manager admitted his dream to coach Argentina

‘People have a certain affection for me and the people who love me see it as greater recognition than I received in Argentina or Spain. I have a Spanish passport but for the Spaniards I am an Argentine.

‘And in Argentina they say the Tottenham of Erik Lamela, not of Pochettino.’

In Argentina, they want to know if he will ever return to take control of Newell’s Old Boys, his first club, or the national team.

Pochettino reflected on the success he has had during his management in England

‘At my age I like to be involved in the day-to-day,’ said Pochettino.

‘I do not have short-term aspirations to coach Argentina.

‘Maybe yes in the long run, because my two dreams are to train Newell’s and the national team.’
