Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has made the revelation that he is not on the frontline\u00a0when it comes to transfer dealings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Lilywhites had gone 18 months without making a single signing prior to this summer, but smashed their transfer record with the acquisition of Tanguy Ndombele for \u00a355.5m earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Pochettino’s transfer position: Five things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Spurs opted against making a single signing across 2018\/19.<\/li>\n
  • They have since brought in two new recruits this window:\u00a0Ndombele and\u00a0Jack Clarke.<\/li>\n
  • In 2016\u00a0Pochettino\u00a0extended his contract, with his title changing from\u00a0head coach to manager.<\/li>\n
  • However, the Argentine has conceded that his latest job title needs to revert back to\u00a0its original\u00a0description.<\/li>\n
  • He has revealed that he has no influence in the club’s transfer policy and should therefore only be referred to as a coach.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Three years ago\u00a0Pochettino’s title was altered from head coach to manager to reflect his ‘involvement in all aspects of the club’, but he has since admitted that his role is\u00a0pigeonholed to coaching only, and his job description should therefore represent that.<\/p>\n

    “I\u2019m not in charge, I know nothing about the situation of my players, I am only coaching them, trying to get the best from them,”<\/span>\u00a0Pochettino told<\/a> reporters after Spurs’ 1-0 win over Real Madrid in the\u00a0Audi Cup.<\/p>\n

    “The type of things, that are going to happen or not happen, sell or buy players, extend contract or not extend contract: it\u2019s not in my hands, it\u2019s in the club\u2019s hands and in Daniel Levy\u2019s hands.”<\/p>\n
