‘It’s going to be weird’ – Pochettino comments on Levy and Kane ahead of Spurs return
In his latest press conference, Mauricio Pochettino has been discussing both Daniel Levy and Harry Kane’s involvement with Tottenham Hotspur, and how the two factor into his return to the club on Monday night.
It will be almost exactly four years to the day since Pochettino was sacked by Tottenham when his Chelsea side visit North London on Monday. Just 13 days shy of the unsavoury anniversary, the Argentine will be hoping to ruin Ange Postecoglou‘s impressive unbeaten run.
Naturally, a lot has changed in that four-year period. Spurs are now onto their fourth permanent manager since letting Pochettino go, while players have come and gone in between, too.
In fact, in the starting lineup on Monday night, the only face Pochettino is likely to recognise is Heung-min Son, while the likes of Eric Dier will probably be among the substitutes.

How does Poch feel about Daniel Levy?
Pochettino’s talisman at Tottenham, Harry Kane, has moved on, of course. Chairman Daniel Levy is still here, though, and Pochettino has been asked about both of those influential figures in his latest chat with the press (via Football.London).
On the fact Kane won’t be there, Pochettino said: “It’s going to be weird seeing many years and Harry Kane is not going to be there. He’s a big part of the history of Tottenham and it will be weird not to see him.”
And, on Levy, he added: “For me, the most important person because he gave me and my coaching staff the possibility to be in Tottenham. Not only a professional relationship, a friendly relationship.
“Too many memories together, it was an amazing journey, only to say thank you to experience great things, like to build the new season. Playing in White Hart Lane, Wembley and Milton Keynes in the same year, an amazing project, I can only say thank you.”
Spurs Web Opinion
It’s interesting what he’s said about Levy there. You’d imagine the sacking would leave a sour note for Pochettino, plus the fact he wasn’t considered for the job this summer. But it’s nice that he is being so positive about all of this.
