Jurgen Klinsmann: 'Mauricio Pochettino needs time'

Jurgen Klinsmann believes that Mauricio Pochettino can be a success at Tottenham Hotspur if he is given the time.

Jurgen Klinsmann has said that Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino needs to be given more time by the club.

The Argentine joined Spurs in the summer, but has already come under pressure following their poor start to the season.

A 2-1 defeat at home to Stoke City at the weekend saw the club lose for the fifth time in the Premier League this season, but former player Klinsmann believes that Pochettino can be a success.

"I wish Mauricio only the best," The Mirror quotes him as saying. "I think he's a tremendously talented coach. He's shown that already. He's got a smart brain. We'll see over time how things work out.

"You always want to have the crowd on your side. That comes from what happens on the field. If a game doesn't go well then the crowd has every right to be a bit pessimistic.

"Every coach needs time to put his mark on an environment, on a club, on a national team programme. Wherever you work, success will only happen over time."

Spurs are currently 12th in the Premier League table.
