Southampton midfielder Schneiderlin full of praise for Spurs boss Pochettino

Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has heaped praise on Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino.

Schneiderlin also expressed his dismay that Southampton had lost Pochettino, in a clear indication that he is ready to join the exodus from St Mary's.

"I think a manager like that is good for every club," Schneiderlin is quoted by the Daily Mail. "With the quality Tottenham have, Mauricio Pochettino will get the best out of each player.

"He came in and made Southampton play and now Tottenham have a great future."

Schneiderlin, a long-term target of Spurs' rivals Arsenal, also said that he owed his recent development, which earned him a spot in France's World Cup squad, to Pochettino.

"He improved me very much. He improved the whole squad and improved me as a player.

"He's a great coach and good man and it's a shame Southampton lost him."
