Eddie Howe (Bournemouth):“The biggest compliment I can give him [Pochettino] is that he improves players.“You look at the players that he’s worked with for a consistent period of time, I think they’ve all got better and are now playing at higher levels.“And the team because of that has benefited, so, yeah, an outstanding manager.“He’s definitely someone that I admire, definitely someone that you look at and think has a lot of qualities that you would want in yourself as a manager.“I don’t know him that well but he looks like someone who works incredibly hard, is very committed to his club, and does all the right things.”
