Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino must speak English in public if he is to become the new manager of Tottenham Hotspur, a report suggests.

Mauricio Pochettino will be expected to speak English in public if he becomes the new manager of Tottenham Hotspur, according to a report.

The Argentine became one of the favourites to take over at White Hart Lane following the sacking of Tim Sherwood on Tuesday.

Pochettino has had to use a translator for interviews since taking over as manager of Southampton in January 2013, despite reportedly speaking good English.

However, the 42-year-old will have to conduct all interviews in English at Spurs should he be appointed, according to The Telegraph.

The report suggests that this should not be a problem for Pochettino, who was put through intensive English lessons when he first joined the Saints.

Spurs finished in sixth place in the Premier League this season.
