'I love Tottenham and I want the best for Jose': Mauricio Pochettino insists he has no hard feelings for Spurs or 'good friend' Mourinho after his sacking last year - and admits 'the club needed to change'

Mauricio Pochettino has explained that he holds no animosity towards Tottenham after his sacking last year.

The Argentine was dismissed from his position as manager of the North London club in November 2019 following a poor run of results that saw the club sit 14th in the Premier League, just months after they lost the Champions League final against Liverpool.

Hours later, Spurs announced the signing of Jose Mourinho as the new boss after Pochettino's five-and-a-half year reign.
