Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has paid a glowing tribute to Marcelo Bielsa.

Pochettino rates Bielsa, who is set to commit to Lille, the biggest influence on his career.

He told SFR Sport: "He was very important to me. Even if we separate methodology, football philosophy, on the field. You may or may not prefer a different style. But for me, it was his passion that he passed on to us.

"Not only to me, because we are a generation of coaches who were his disciples. How he feels football, the passion he has for football, I think we all took that from him.

"And we are imbued with his passion. Even if all the coaches you see today train in different ways."
