'Replacement for Trippier!' These Tottenham fans love what Mauricio Pochettino did in training

Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has not lost his touch when it comes to his football skills as a wonder goal in training showed.

The Argentinian was a centre-back during his playing career and featured for the likes of Newell's Old Boys, Espanyol, Paris Saint-Germain and Bordeaux in a career which spanned more than 500 games, while he also represented his country.

Pochettino has since gone on to manage Espanyol and Southampton before joining Spurs in 2014.

But never mind the fact that the 47-year-old has impressed as the manager of Tottenham in the last five years, the former defender has still got plenty of skill on the ball.

As the video above shows he provided a perfect free-kick in Singapore on Thursday which even the best keepers in the world would have struggled to stop.

And the reaction from Tottenham fans has naturally been brilliant.

Spurs have been notoriously poor with their set-piece delivery in recent seasons and if this is anything to go by it looks like Pochettino will be the one giving the masterclass during pre-season.
