Tottenham fullback Danny Rose says he gave up on his White Hart Lane career under former manager Harry Redknapp.

Rose admits he loves playing for Mauricio Pochettino.

He told BBC Sport: "I wish he was my manager from when I was 18.

"Working under Harry was difficult and I sort of gave up thinking I could play for Tottenham week-in, week-out.

"The kids don't realise how lucky they are to have a manager like the one we've got now. If I was one of them I'd be rubbing my hands together - as a young kid it's the best time to be playing for Tottenham.

"Whenever we go through a difficult moment he doesn't want us to panic, he studies the game all day and night and fully trusts us to cope with whatever he asks of us."
