Tottenham boss Martin Ho reveals surprise influences in Simeone and Jordan
Tottenham manager Martin Ho has revealed that Atletico Madrid’s Diego Simeone and basketball legend Michael Jordan have been two of the biggest influences on his growing coaching career.
Widely seen as one of the brightest young minds in women’s football, the 35-year-old opened up about the figures who have inspired his journey with several other sporting icons also making his list.
“Eddie Jones was a big one in terms of his man-management and his delegation around management and staff and how they done things,” Ho told BBC.0
“And Diego Simeone’s a big one from Atletico Madrid. Just from the playing style and more because of his persistence over a long period of time.0
“He’s probably the longest-serving manager in men’s football and I think to be at a club for so long and deliver so many consistent results but then deliver titles also maybe with a squad that maybe people don’t always feel have the top, elite-level players, but he gets the best out of them individually by developing them.0
“Yeah, that kind of motivates me to know that it’s not always the finances and resources you need, it’s kind of what’s within. And if you’ve got the right people around you and the right group of players who work hard and you have the right mindset, I believe you can achieve a lot.”
