[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, Tottenham Hotspur fans expressed their dissatisfaction with the team’s performance in the first half of the match against Newcastle, booing current head coach Thomas Frank as the team trailed 0-1. Shortly after the start of the second half, some fans began to chant the name of former head coach Mauricio Pochettino, expressing their nostalgia and support for him. Pochettino led Spurs to the Champions League final in 2019 and finished as runners-up in the Premier League.
This week, Pochettino expressed his hope to one day return to Tottenham. Fans chanted his name to voice their discontent with the current situation. Since Frank took over, Spurs have won only two out of 16 matches and currently find themselves deep in the relegation zone. Despite this, Frank praised Pochettino in an interview: “I have seen Pochettino a few times; he is a great man and coach. He is a legend at the club. Although he didn’t win any trophies, he certainly helped elevate the club from the level it was at to being close to winning the Premier League and reaching the Champions League final. If the fans are chanting his name, that is well deserved.”
