Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has hailed Manchester United Jose Mourinho as he insisted that Mourinho will always be “The Special One” despite his recent struggles with Manchester United.
“He is the Special One and will always be the Special One,” Pochettino told a news conference. “For me, he was a reference when I started my career at Espanyol. He was always very kind to me and opened his door.
“I always assess my colleagues, and try to be objective — I really believe he is one of the best. Sometimes you struggle a bit — it’s not easy to arrive at new club, set up ideas and philosophy but, for me, he was, is, will be one of best managers in football history.”
