Tottenham Hotspur fans have hailed assistant manager Joao Sacramento after he praised the club’s togetherness following their 2-0 win over Manchester City.
Spurs recorded a vital win over Pep Guardiola’s men as they attempt to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League this season.
Steven Bergwijn scored the opener on his debut before Son Heung-Min netted a second, leading to wild celebrations including players that were both on the bench and in the stands.
And 31-year-old Sacramento believes that such scenes are evidence of the club showing genuine togetherness under manager Jose Mourinho.
He said: “For sure, it was a great win. I believe that was the kind of win that this team, and especially the fans, they were deserving for a while.
No clues whatsoever: Which seasons do these iconic Spurs images belong to?
“These guys, only the people that work with us every day, knows how hard these guys work and how united they are.
“If you look, the way they celebrated the goal, and you see a sub player and a non-squad player celebrating with them, I think it is a sign that this group is united and they deserve the win.”
Perhaps unsurprisingly, a number of fans have taken to Twitter to hail his message.
And some other supporters believe that Sacramento could well be a future Spurs manager.
He is the current assistant manager at the club, having previously been a scout at Ligue 1 club AS Monaco and assistant manager at Lille, from whom he was lured by Tottenham.
The win over City took Spurs to fifth in the Premier League table, just four points behind Frank Lampard’s Chelsea in fourth.
