Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino unhappy with Leicester City support

Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino criticises his fellow Premier League managers that openly backed Leicester City to win the title this season.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has blasted his fellow Premier League managers that openly backed Leicester City to win the title this season.

West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis recently admitted that he 'would love' to see the Foxes win the championship, while there has been widespread support of Claudio Ranieri's side in the pursuit of the title.

Tottenham's 2-2 draw at Chelsea on Monday night handed Leicester the crown, but Pochettino has questioned the professionalism of those that openly supported Leicester's challenge.

"Maybe in the next few meetings of the Premier League, the managers and also the staff, we need to say that in future we must be careful with all these comments in public," Pochettino told reporters. "In football, our responsibility is to be professional. When you are professional, you do not give your personal opinion.

"If I support Tottenham and we play against some team which fights for the title, or to survive, then I can't give my opinion like a supporter. I need to give my opinion like a professional. It's always dangerous when something happens like that.

"Maybe in the last few weeks or months, we know the football people maybe don't behave like professionals, we need to be careful."

Second-placed Spurs will return to action at home to Southampton on Sunday afternoon.
