Watford defender Kaboul brands Spurs boss Pochettino 'two-faced'

Watford defender Younes Kaboul has hit out at his former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino.

The Frenchman, 32, was the first club captain following Pochettino's arrival from Southampton in 2014, after he allowed the players to vote on who should wear the armband following the departure of Michael Dawson.

"The one where things didn't go well was Pochettino," Kaboul said.

"On the field, nothing to say, very good manager, with a philosophy and a style of play that works.

"Personally, it's the opposite. He's two-faced. He would say things to you and did the complete opposite behind your back."

Speaking to France Football, he added: “I didn't like that, and I told him. That's all."
