GARY NEVILLE has been quick to praise Mauricio Pochettino for helping turning around Tottenham's fortunes.
Spurs enjoyed a fabulous day last Saturday as they thrashed Manchester City 4-1.
Though the north London outfit have had a strange start to the season, Neville insists Pochettino should take the credit for revitalising the team.
"When he went into that club he will not have enjoyed what he saw," Neville told Sky Sports.
"I think what he's had to do in the last 12 to 18 months is knock the house down and try to rebuild it again.
"If you look at what he's done, he's transformed the team and definitely got a better bunch of lads.
"With Tottenham, the average age is 23 which is the youngest in the league and he's not just transforming a team there, he's transforming a culture.
"It's a culture of being a bit flimsy. You'd never say they were the hardest working team in the league. You'd say they're a bit weak and he's trying to transform that.
"It looks to me like Daniel Levy is approaching things a bit differently. He's rid himself of Franco Baldini and he's going with Pochettino and his backroom staff.

"They're going with a more balanced approach and there are certainly signs now that Pochettino is having an effect.
"I don't think he's got the best team in the world and I don't think they'll finish in the top four. But you just have to look at the work ethic in winning the ball back."
