Arsenal legend Henry: PSG haven't seen the real Pochettino

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has defended Mauricio Pochettino over his work at PSG.

The former Tottenham manager is facing the PSG exit door, despite leading them to the Ligue Une title.

Henry said, "I think he can leave. There will be discussions, it's clear, but we have to see if there will be a new team, if he will have the keys, will that change? Coaching with handcuffs is not easy.

“I always come back to coaching. I don't think we've seen the Pochettino paw for having seen his former teams.

"I played against his Espanyol when I was at Barca, I saw his teams at Southampton and Tottenham. It was a team that pressed, tough on pain, which played well against so I didn't really see that. Playing the counter with Paris is not always the case even if it can happen in the Champions League. It's rarer but I haven't seen him really coach, or at least in the way he likes to do it."
