Tottenham fullback Kieran Trippier believes they're lucky to count on manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Trippier believes Pochettino is now on the same level as some of the finest managers on the planet.

Pochettino has yet to win a major trophy at Spurs but has transformed their fortunes since he took control.

Tripper told talkSPORT: "He is one of the best managers in the world. It is his understanding of the game, the tactics, the individual stuff, and he has done a lot for me and the team.

"We can move onwards and upwards and do very well this season."
