Jose Mourinho’s spell at Tottenham continues to receive a lot of attention, and this time around, Eric Lamela defended the Portuguese coach’s legacy at the North London club between 2019 and 2021.
“Mourinho has always tried his best for the club. He is a trainer with an incredible mindset. I know how much he worked at Tottenham, he was always a good person and I really enjoyed spending time with him. When the coaches leave, you feel bad because it is a sign that the team is not at their best, ”said the Argentine national team player who spent eight seasons with Spurs in an interview with The Times.
The 29-year-old striker, who moved from the English club to Sevilla this season, also remembered replacing his compatriot Pochettino, who leads the team, with Mourinho. “We did not expect [pela troca de treinador]… Pochettino has done an incredible job to bring the club to such a high level. The way he ran this team and the way we trained every day was fantastic. We have always tried our best, ”Lamela said, adding about the current PSG coach:“ With Pochettino, we have always been close to the top of the Premier League. I enjoyed all of these seasons and reaching the 2019 Champions Final was a great success. “
