Tim Sherwood "very impressed" with Tottenham Hotspur under Mauricio Pochettino

Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Tim Sherwood praises his replacement Mauricio Pochettino on the back of Spurs making a good start to the new season.

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Tim Sherwood has praised his successor Mauricio Pochettino after the Argentine manager's good start to life as Spurs boss.

Sherwood was sacked in May after the club could only finish sixth in the Premier League under his leadership, but he holds no grudge against his replacement in the dugout.

"Their game against Liverpool tomorrow represents the biggest test so far for my former club Tottenham Hotspur, but I have to say that I have been very impressed with what I have seen so far from the team and Mauricio Pochettino," Sherwood said in his column in the The Independent.

"They were fantastic against Queens Park Rangers with a high press and lots of attacking football. I am not sure it was QPR's best performance but, nevertheless, all the Spurs players looked like they had really bought into what Pochettino is trying to do.

"What I like about Pochettino's approach is that he is judging players on a level. There is no nod given to reputation."

Meanwhile, Montpellier HSC have claimed that they have reached an agreement to sell Benjamin Stambouli to Spurs.
