Mauricio Pochettino: Tottenham manager fined and given two-game touchline ban for confrontation with Mike Dean
Mauricio Pochettino’s joy at seeing Tottenham reach the Champions League quarter-finals has been tempered by a two-match touchline ban.The Spurs manager watched his side beat Borussia Dortmund 1-0 in the second leg of their last-16 tie, with Harry Kane scoring the goal that earned them a 4-0 aggregate win.But at 9am on Wednesday morning it was announced Pochettino was banned and also hit with a 10,000 fine by the Football Association for his conduct after the defeat to Burnley, which saw him involved in a heated clashed with Mike Dean.3

A statement from the FA read: “The Tottenham Hotspur manager accepted an improper conduct charge from The FA, which resulted from his language and/or behaviour both on the pitch and in or around the tunnel area at the end of the game against Burnley on 23 February.”The manager will now be forced to sit in the stands for the trip to Southampton on 9 March and will remain there for the game at Anfield against Liverpool on 31 March.3

Pochettino’s joy at guiding Spurs into the Champions League quarter-final was tempered by a two-match ban

After the Dortmund game,Pochettino hinted a ban was coming when he misinterpreted a question in his post-match press conference.“I am not going to talk because it is easy to pay with me and you are going to see tomorrow why I am not going to talk,” he said.“I am very disappointed, I don’t think that is going to change but I don’t care, we are going to be strong.“If are not going to receive a help from our football people in our country only I can laugh. You are going to see tomorrow why I am not so happy with the people.”He then appeared to nod when asked if he was getting a touchline ban. The question he was actually asked was whether he thinks Spurs will be in their new stadium in time for the Champions League quarter-finals.He was optimistic, but that will be dependent on Brighton’s possible progression in the FA Cup – which would rule out an April 7 Premier League homecoming – and whether they get drawn home in the first leg, scheduled to be on April 10.“I expect to play at the new stadium. I was talking yesterday with [chairman] Daniel Levy and he was very positive, I hope yes and I wish we can play in our new stadium.“We were sitting and listening to the Champions League song and we were talking with Jesus [Perez, Pochettino’s assistant] saying it will be amazing to be in the new stadium listening to that song before the game.3

“Now we are in the quarter-final I hope we can finish and we can listen to the song there.”Their advancement to the last eight represents progression for Pochettino’s men who were beaten by Juventus in the last 16 last year and the boss hailed it as a “fantastic achievement”.“I feel very proud. I am more than happy first of all for our players. They deserved it, the effort was brilliant,” he said.“I think it’s a fantastic season, a season that we are going to remember. Of course that is only we are going to be in the Champions League quarter-finals but it’s a fantastic achievement for the team.”
