“Tottenham supporter burns Pochettino book over Chelsea appointment”

A Tottenham supporter has expressed his displeasure over the news of Mauricio Pochettino joining Chelsea by burning a book about him on a barbecue. The Argentine was recently confirmed as the new head coach of the Blues, signing a two-year contract with the option of a third. Pochettino was a popular figure at Tottenham due to his success during his time there, but for one fan, that feeling of goodwill is now a thing of the past. The fan, with the username @tehTrunk, tweeted a video showing Guillem Balague’s book about Pochettino titled ‘Brave New World: Inside Pochettino’s Spurs’ smoking on the bank holiday sunshine BBQ. Tottenham are also searching for a new manager following the sacking of Antonio Conte earlier this year, but those hoping for a Pochettino return have now had their dreams shattered. Chelsea’s co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley justified Pochettino’s appointment, citing his experience, standards of excellence, leadership qualities, character, and winning record as reasons why he is an exceptional candidate.
