Tottenham news: Mauricio Pochettino reveals Daniel Levy support despite Spurs crisis
The Argentine has overseen a troubled start to the season with heavy defeats to Bayern Munich and Brighton last week
Mauricio Pochettino insists Daniel Levy remains fully behind him despite Tottenham entering a crisis in recent weeks.
After being hammered by Bayern Munich in the Champions League, Spurs capitulated against Brighton last weekend.
The results have left Pochettino under pressure but he remains calm due to his good relationship with Levy, who he considers a “friend”.
“We maintain a very good relationship and it is extraordinary to have that support,” Pochettino said at a global football summit in Qatar.
“I have always told him that, in addition to my chairman, I consider him a friend.
“Football is not a drama, it is passion and we cannot separate it from emotions. But neither can we make a sport as fantastic as this one because of the latest result.
“We must learn from defeats to be able to exceed our limits and that begins by accepting that you don’t always win and that the opponent also works hard and makes merits.

“You must always react with dignity to the result, regardless of whether it is good or bad.”
Spurs next face Watford after the international break and despite their struggles remain just three points off the top four.
