The 47-year-old took great pride in helping nurture young players during his stints at both Southampton and most recently Spurs.
One man who has the same ideology as Pochettino, and whom benefited hugely from working with the Argentine at St Mary’s, is Grimsby no.2 Anthony Limbrick.
Born in Tasmania, Limbrick originally made the move to the UK to forge a professional playing career.
However, it became apparent that going down that route was an unlikely proposition after suffering a serious leg break in his late teens.
Irrespective of that injury setback he believes he wasn’t up to the required standard to make it to the big time anyway. He had his chance, and accepts it just didn’t work out.
He refused to be too down and despite being advised to move back to Australia after failing to make it as a professional he ignored those suggestions.
From that day he vowed to build a career for himself within coaching, and it’s been a rather colourful journey since then.
At the age of just 19, he first became a youth team coach at Boreham Wood in 2007, eventually advancing on to a first-team coach role at Wingate & Finchley from 2007 to 2010.
It was then that Limbrick joined Saints as their youth coach, asserting authority over the Under-14, Under-16 and Under-18 age groups.
He first came across Pochettino at Saints. The pair struck up a close relationship, with Limbrick coaching his youngest son, Maurizio.
Speaking exclusively to talkSPORT.com, the 42-year-old, who also credits Nigel Adkins for aiding his development, outlined the methods Pochettino instilled in him which still remain present this day.
“I managed to get closer to Mauricio as I had a good relationship with his son. Watching his training sessions and the individual work he did with players was an excellent learning curve for me,” he explained.
“The tempo and intensity the team trained at was something I had never seen before in my life. It was unbelievable.
“Ever since then I’ve implemented Mauricio’s work in every training session I conduct.
“The main premise for me is working harder in training than you do in the game. It’s about a lot of pressing, work rate and winning the ball back. Mauricio’s advice was invaluable.”
A spell working as an academy coach at West Ham followed, before Limbrick took his first footsteps into management with Woking in 2017.
The Australian made a bright start to his tenure, while they also sprang a surprise in the FA Cup second round – beating then League One side Bury.
However, after winning just three of his last 26 matches at the helm, the National League side terminated his contract in April 2018.
Limbrick returned to the game in June 2018, with Grimsby appointing him as assistant to promising boss Michael Jolley.
A second opportunity in the hotseat, albeit on an interim basis, then presented itself earlier this season, during which Limbrick says he ‘laid the foundations’ for the new man to come in and flourish.
That man is none other than talkSPORT favourite Ian Holloway, with Limbrick working alongside the former QPR and Blackpool boss as his number two.
And the Mariners assistant boss says ‘Ollie’ has brought a new lease of life and enthusiasm into a Grimsby side which are unbeaten in their last five league games.
So what is the biggest thing Limbrick has taken from a man who has taken charge of over 950 games across a 20-plus-year career in the dugout?
“He’s huge on the man management side, more so than anyone else I’ve ever encountered in the game,” he added.
“He has an uncanny knack of getting everyone on side, whether that be people in the office, the kit man or the guys in the canteen who do our lunch for us.
“Everyone has got to work together and pull in the right direction. He is all about creating a happy and healthy environment for everyone to thrive in.
He continued: “Ian has been very impressed with the group. Their attitude has been spot on in training and on match days.
“The players just want honesty and that’s certainly what he’s giving them at the moment.
“He’s certainly a character. He’s brought a lot of energy and enthusiasm to the table.

“He say it how it is and there’s certain things he expects and the players have to buy into that. Ian has made that crystal clear.
“He’s been on the front foot getting those messages across and that’s good for the players as they know where they stand.
“Making everyone inclusive and working towards that end goal is vitally important if you are going to be successful in anything you do in life.”
