'I told them there was no need for them to be at risk': Mauricio Pochettino reveals he gave his former Tottenham stars advice over coronavirus crisis and slams football authorities for failing to act sooner

Former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has revealed he sent messages to his ex-Spurs players after the Premier League was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Pochettino established a close relationship with his Tottenham squad during his five-year tenure and has kept in contact with some of the players despite being sacked and replaced by Jose Mourinho in November following a torrid start to the season.

The Argentine guided Tottenham to the Champions League final last season and is still regarded as one of the club's best managers in modern history.
