Spurs players aren’t going to spit on Pochettino, but Mourinho is our future - Sissoko

The French midfielder is confident that the former Manchester United and Chelsea tactician is the right man to take Tottenham forward

Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko has acknowledged the fact that Mauricio Pochettino "brought the club to a new level", but says he is now looking forward to a bright future under Jose Mourinho.

Pochettino's five-year reign at Spurs came to an end on November 19, as he was dismissed following a poor run of results which saw the club drop into the bottom half of the Premier League table.

Club chairman Daniel Levy turned to one of the world's top managers to replace the Argentine, drafting in two-time European Cup winner Mourinho, who had been out of work since being sacked by Manchester United in December 2018.
