'Brave New World: Inside Pochettino's Spurs reads like it is the start of something, a self-aware manager exploring some bold ideas and exciting potential . . . Pochettino comes over, above all, as a man who puts enormous stock in working relationships, trust, and comfort in his environment . . . But mostly there are detailed insights into the impressive workings of a football manager' -- Matt Dickinson * The Times * 'Mauricio Pochettino may be the most interesting coach currently working in England, perhaps even Europe. The author is granted unprecedented access to see the inner workings of one of the success stories in the Premier League in recent years' -- Joel Sked * i news, The 10 Best Football Books of 2017 * 'An essential piece of reading for anyone keen to understand how someone goes about transforming a football club' * FourFourTwo * 'An unparalleled insight into one of the most exciting managers working in football' * Independent *
