Spurs fans will love Pochettino's answer about whether he's the best manager in the world

Mauricio Pochettino gave his most deadpan answer yet when asked this week if he is the best manager in the world.

This week Pochettino appeared on Soccer AM, answering the internet's most searched questions about him, in this video.

The Spurs manager had already been giving his responses to questions about whether he dyes his hair - he doesn't - and other widely searched and slightly offbeat topics about him.

When he was asked 'Is Mauricio Pochettino the best manager in the world', he simply turned to the camera and answered with a straight deadpan face: "No doubt. Of course. Yes of course."

Another question was 'How did Mauricio Pochettino rejuvenate Spurs?'.

"It was more a collective work with Daniel Levy, the board and all the staff," he answered.

"The most important thing in football is to have a plan, a vision for the future, being strong, sometimes decisions that are not popular. Determination is massive and that's going to be key if you want success.

"I think we are in another club now, five years ago was one Tottenham, now it's completely different.

"We feel so proud to be part of this success, it's a club that's very close to being at the next level, very close now to the big clubs.

"Five years ago it was about reducing the gap to the big clubs.

"We are living a dream, but that dream is now to become consistent and regular and behave like a big club, because the facilities are amazing."

Another poser put to him was 'what car does Mauricio Pochettino drive?'. 

"I have a Bentley because it was a present from Daniel [Levy]," Pochettino said. "I think it's like a loan! 

"We'll see if it was a present at the end of my contract here. I will tell you if it was a present or to only give me the facility to drive. Maybe the last day he says 'Mauricio give me the keys'!

"I have a very small car that I love to drive too, a Smart car. Then I'm waiting for my electric Audi, too."
