Pochettino's first training session

[fran-MLs little camera]

I reckon they might have considered that today of all days was not the best for Lallana to be out there pounding the near frozen ground considering the impact that may have on his knee.

He probably also wanted to look at the available players...was having a cosy chat with de Ridder!

How many more are you going to?

Back on topic for a minute, if anyone is interested I've been trying to figure out who the coaches are in those photos.

The guy with the gloves on looks like this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Jiménez_Sistachs who was Pochettino's assistant at Espanyol. Won a gold medal with Spain at the 92 Olympics.

The short guy is Toni Borrell, who was a coach at Espanyol. Doesn't seem to have had much of a playing career, can't find out anything much about him.

The guy with FA on his tracksuit is, judging by the fact he has a personalised tracksuit and the others don't, the Spanish-speaking coach we already had, as mentioned by Ramirez previously. Anyone know his full name?

Exciting huh?

That would be Fran Alonso.

Gaston's translator. Also, a coach who works with Saints Foundation and is a UEFA B coaching licence holder.
