The exclusive behind-the-scenes story of the Mauricio Pochettino revolution at Spurs, told in his own words

Since joining the club in 2014, Mauricio Pochettino has transformed Tottenham from underachievers into genuine title contenders. In the process, he has marked himself out as one of the best young managers in the world, more than holding his own against the Premier League's established heavyweights. He has done so by promoting an attacking, pressing style of football and by nurturing home-grown talent, fully endearing himself to the Spurs faithful along the way.

Guillem Balagué was granted unprecedented access to Pochettino and his backroom staff for the duration of the 2016-17 season, and he has therefore been able to draw on extensive interview material with Pochettino, his family, his closest assistants, players such as Dele Alli and Harry Kane, and even a very rare conversation with Daniel Levy to tell the manager's story in his own words. From Pochettino's early years as a player and coach to his transformation of Tottenham into one of the best teams in England, the book uniquely reveals the inner workings of the man and of his footballing philosophy. It also lays bare what it takes to run a modern-day football team competing at the highest level over the course of a single campaign. The result is the most comprehensive and compelling portrait of a manager and of a club in the Premier League era.

This book is a must for all football fans, of any club. It offers a remarkable look at the modern day challenges football managers endure. Poch's status as a Tottenham legend was cemented long ago, but this book serves to confirm his genius.

One thought - maybe an idea to have a narrator who knows how to pronounce names like Lukaku, and Aguero. Some of his pronunciations were cringeworthy.

Excellent insight.

If you love the man you will love the story. Best bit for me was the praise and adulation he recieved at the end of the book, Mr. Levy being brilliantly frank.
