"The Argentine's time at Paris Saint-Germain saw him manage the likes of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and his compatriot Lionel Messi, but in terms of goals scored under Pochettino, none of that trio came close to Harry Kane. The England skipper plundered 169 goals for Tottenham during Pochettino's spell in charge of the north London side, a stint that convinced him that Kane belongs among the modern greats of the game."
"Pochettino is quick to mitigate this comparison by pointing out the fact that Kane has not enjoyed the limelight that playing for teams that win trophies virtually every season brings. He didn't have the fortune of being at a club where he won a lot of trophies, he continues. If that had been the case, people would be talking about him much more."
"Kane's loyalty to Tottenham saw him spend 13 years at the club, with just runners-up medals from the Champions League and two League Cups to show for it. In the summer of 2023 he made a 100million move to Bayern Munich, where he last season won his first league title at the age of 31. A second has followed this year, but Pochettino believes Kane to be one of many players not to have won the honours that their talent deserves."
Mauricio Pochettino managed attacking stars at Paris Saint-Germain, including Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, and Lionel Messi, but Harry Kane scored far more goals for Tottenham during Pochettino’s tenure. Kane netted 169 times while playing for Spurs, reinforcing Pochettino’s view that Kane belongs among modern greats. Pochettino links Kane’s lower profile to Tottenham’s lack of frequent trophy success compared with clubs that win regularly. Kane spent 13 years at Spurs, finishing with only runners-up medals in the Champions League and two League Cups. In 2023 he moved to Bayern Munich for €100 million, winning his first league title at 31 and adding another the following year, yet Pochettino still believes his CV does not fully reflect his quality.
