Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has assured fans he'll speak English in the media.
Pochettino relied on a translator throughout his 18 months at Southampton but in his first formal introduction to the English press yesterday, he was word-perfect.
"I've never had a problem with my communication with the players," he said. "All of it was good. It's different when you speak in public and in private. I'm more nervous now!
"I remember Bobby Robson or Beckham in Spain. It was very difficult to start to speak in front of the media and they always used the translator to begin with.
"But now, it's good, my communication. And after, I have luck, because my assistant, Jesus Perez, has very good English and helps me every time. He's close to me, always.
"So going forward, I want to speak with you in English. For me, it's about respect for you and our fans, no?
"However, I have a lot of thoughts in my mind, in my head, and it's difficult to explain to you in another language that is not Spanish.
"Sometimes, it seems poor, my English, and it's difficult to explain in the way that I want.
"That's why I used the translator in Southampton. And, also, at times it's possible Jesus or other people will help me in the press conference."
