Hoddle backs Pochettino for Tottenham job

Spurs are on the hunt for a new coach after activating a break clause in Tim Sherwood's contract last week.

Pochettino led Southampton to their highest Premier League points tally this term and Hoddle, who was linked with a return to the Spurs hotseat before Sherwood replaced Andre Villas-Boas in December, has backed the Argentinian to take the White Hart Lane club on.

"I think Pochettino is a super young manager," Hoddle told talkSPORT.

"He has done a brilliant job at Southampton and I think he would be a very good acquisition for Tottenham.

"I've been very impressed with the way he's had Southampton playing this year, and I think with the squad at Tottenham I think he could do real wonders there."

"I think Spurs have to look at some continuity in the long-term and if they don't do that they'll struggle," he added.

"Changing the manager too many times in a short period of time isn't healthy for the club or the success the fans want."
