Mauricio Pochettino turning heads in the dugout & why the women love Pochettino

POCHETTINO TURNING HEADS: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/10233693.Pochettino_turning_heads_in_the_Saints_dugout/?ref=mmsp

IT was one of many texts I suspect were sent simultaneously buzzing around Southampton cyberspace at that exact moment.

âJust seen the new Saints manager. Well fit and sexy. Lovely smile! Hehe!â

That was the message that pinged up on my mobile phone as Mauricio Pochettino made his TV debut in living rooms across the county. And rather embarrassingly the sender was my mum.

The fact dad was sitting next to her didnât seem to bother her because for the first time in decades she suddenly became very interested in the oh-so-beautiful game.

While dad, a die-hard Saints fan, was swatting up on stats and taking in his player profile which included 20 caps for Argentina and a managerial career at Espanyol, mum had other things on her mind.

Things like the 40-year-oldâs fresh faced olive skin, designer stubble, suave suit that looked fresh out of an Armani shoot and the chiselled features that made her, and other women across the county, edge forward on their sofas.

I wonât even get started on those sultry Spanish tones as he said âI am very âappy to be âereâ in the sexiest of accents.

Or his twinkly deep brown eyes and huge smile he flashed while each mesmerising word was translated into English.

In that split second he paused from his melodic spiel to take a swig of coffee and flashed a very expensive-looking watch, all women swooned and all men wanted to dress like him.

And the temperatures are not just rising in my parents house as a straw poll in the office among the girls confirmed my suspicions with one breathlessly remarking: âI could never get enough of his stubble.â

There is quite simply no doubting that the Saintsâ new boy has got pulses racing off the pitch and attracted a new legion of followers.

No, I am not talking about the die-harders in the Northam End but the partners -those who couldnât explain the offside rule if their lives depended on it or whose football knowledge extends only to David Beckhamâs tattoo collection.

Of course like every other woman who got a similar text, I started my research.

And I found Pochettinoâs sex appeal is already well-established internationally.

How could we have missed his muscular physique and flowing locks when he came up against England in the 2002 World Cup, tripping Michael Owen and giving England a 1-0 win?

Classy Mauricio provides the sort of phwoar-factor which has not been seen since his friend Jose Mourinho debuted on our shores and brightened up the game.

Looking back to the old days of British footie, the 5ft 11in Argentinian is certainly a far cry from that breed of manager.

Remember Brian Clough who pounded the touchline of Nottingham Forest in his hallmark trusty green jumper?

Not to mention past Saints managers who have adopted, shall we say, a more relaxed approach to dress.

Take Paul Sturrock and Jan Poortvliet for example and their penchant for shorts and tracksuits.

But Mauricio seems to hit all the right style buttons as he is spotted pounding the pitch in shiny black Italian brogues complete with a bespoke suit so sharply tailored it looks carved.

He also relaxes in chunky knits a la Daniel Craig while the grey Louis Vuitton scarf he wore during last Saturdayâs Manchester City game was worn with typically stylish aplomb.

Even when found in a tracksuit and skinny-fit trousers on the touchline, he has sported a fresh-out-of-the-box pair of eye-catching snazzy Nike trainers with a striking florescent orange tick.

His dapper wardrobe has not gone unnoticed among personal stylists either.

Award-winning Hampshire personal stylist Chantelle Znideric said: âHis style is smart and laid back but has a masculine edge still.

âIt tells me that he takes pride in his appearance but his priority is managing the team and doing his job well â itâs not too immaculate or overdone.

âWomen are attracted to this look and like the idea of men in smart suits because itâs confident and domineering in a good way.

âOften men that have a clean cut image will boast handsome features and youâll notice their eyes, hair or smile more clearly.â

But thereâs bad news ladies â Mauricioâs married.

POCHETTINO'S TOUCHLINE STYLE UNDER THE MICROSCOPE: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/10233697.Pochettino___s_touchline_style_under_the_microscope/?ref=mr

THE first thing you notice about Mauricio Pochettino's style is that it's very sharp, smart and very well put together.

He exudes a chic and classic yet understated look. His hair is well kempt and his overall attempt at grooming is tidy as well as pleasing to the eye.

There's an air of quality about his look and emulates the likes of his counterparts, Mourinho and Mancini, all of whom have a certain âEuropeanâ style, which tends to be attractive, simplistic and elegant.

The fabrics he likes to wear are high quality and well cut to reflect his professionalism in this new role of Southampton FC manager.

In my experience most males in high powered or respected roles tend to wear high quality fabrics such as wools, silks, cashmere and structured cottons or linens, as this reflects their professionalism and significance that they can do the job. Football managers that have this style keep their look simple and modern.

Colours in general are dark and deep but there's also a strong contrast when suits are worn. For more formal and special occasions you'll see dark suits worn with crisp white shirts, as this reflects a type of uniform and seniority whilst giving them as well as their team and audiences complete confidence in their ability to achieve.

Wearing nice clothes in general gives us all that extra bit of confidence and it also helps us to feel good doing what we do. Wearing higher quality fabrics and a designer brand we aspire to will also help us feel more confident and worthy.

And how can the rest of us achieve his dapper look?

Men achieve this inner confidence and effortless style by ultimately knowing that they look attractive and feel comfortable in what they're wearing.

Opting for the right styles, trends and colours to suit their individuality and personality is key. Men that try too hard often don't get it right.

To be fair, the day Sir Nigel got sacked I came home in shock, moaning etc and the other half & daughter asked who's replaced him - I showed them the picture and neither said poor Nigel, they both said "God, he's fit!"

A friend with no interest in football came round soon after Nigel was sacked. I just said let me show you something. Before I could even fire up my computer, she said,'I know..you're going to show me a photo of your delicious manager.' Mauriccio is good enough to eat...Fonte will have to up his game
