Cape Town - Embattled Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has received the support of former Spurs player and current USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
Tottenham Hotspur legend Jurgen Klinsmann has labelled struggling Spurs coach Mauricio Pochettino as "tremendous" according to the Independent.

“Every coach needs time to put his mark on an environment, on a club, on a national-team programme.
"Wherever you work, it’s only going to happen over time. Unfortunately, professional football is driven by short-term results.
“In order for Mauricio to put his stamp on Spurs he needs time, he needs probably also needs a couple of transfer windows over time to build the team he has in mind, to put the puzzle together that he envisions.”
