Mauricio Pochettino had admitted his concerns about Tottenham’s Amazon Prime documentary before his sacking.
Pochettino was axed on Tuesday night with Jose Mourinho having now been confirmed as his successor.
It adds a stunning new storyline to the fly-on-the-wall documentary series, that will adopt a similar format to those at Manchester City , Leeds and Sunderland.
It remains to be seen how Mourinho will deal with the cameras on him but Pochettino admitted he was a little uneasy when asked about the programme last month.
“When the club agreed the deal with Amazon, of course we were worried about it. Because it is not easy, not easy,” he said.

“It is tough to have the camera in your office, and then how you handle the situation to have the capacity to say: ‘OK, I am not in a good mood, but sometimes the camera is going to be there.’ It is so complicated, it is another thing to worry about and of course that adds a lot.
“If we were busy, now we are super busy. To plan every day, everything, is not an easy job. That is why, when I told you I feel that I am not any more a manager, I am a coach, now I am like a producer. Being coach, manager and producer.”

Pochettino even suggested there was a ‘risk’ that came with such programmes if fortunes didn’t improve on the pitch – as they haven’t.
“It’s going to be the reality. It is like when we started to do the book [Inside Pochettino’s Spurs] one season. It was the same risk.
“The most important is to live the reality, not to try to generate something that is fake or not real.
“And then what you are going to love, what the people are going to love to see, is that we are normal people working. We can win, we can lose.
“Like the book, I hope there is a happy ending. But if not, you are going to see another point of view, from a different vision.”
