Premier League managers are concerned by their job
security.
Mauricio Pochettino believes all Premier League managers fear
the sack and said he has seen a trending change in job security
following the influx of foreign owners.
Pochettino feels managers are under unprecedented pressure,
with clubs increasingly unwilling to show patience to the men in
charge.
Tottenham take on manager-less Aston Villa on Monday at
White Hart Lane following the sacking of Tim Sherwood and the
Argentinean insists the Premier League's reputation for
managerial stability no longer exists.
"In Europe, the pressure is always there," said Pochettino.
"When I was in Spain, Argentina and France, we would say it
was different, more stable in England because there were a lot
of examples like Arsene Wenger or Sir Alex Ferguson.
"But now, after three years here, I can see how it has started to
change. It is true there is more pressure on the manager and
results are demanded quickly.
"Maybe before it was different but now it is like the style from
Europe has arrived in England."
Pochettino reasoned the short-termism stems from overseas
owners investing significant money into clubs and holding
overly ambitious expectations.
"Today there are a lot of owners who have arrived from Europe
and it is a different mentality," he said.
"It is difficult to give time to develop projects in football. You
buy the club and you want the title after three months."
