Football.london reports that Mauricio Pochettino has been included in the official Tottenham calendar for 2019.
The report adds that the Argentine graces the month of January. He is the only manager from the top six to be featured in the official calendars.
The other players who feature are Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli, Davinson Sanchez, Dele Alli, Hugo Lloris, Harry Kane, Eric Dier, Kieran Trippier, Jan Vertonghen, Ben Davies, Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura.
The stars that have missed out include Danny Rose, Toby Alderweireld and Mousa Dembele. All three were linked with a move away in the summer (h/t Football.london).
Surprisingly, even Harry Winks and Erik Lamela were omitted despite signing new deals in the summer.
Rose had missed out on the calendar last season too and had asked the manager why he didn’t feature. Pochettino was quoted by Football.london as saying:
“He came to see me and said ‘Gaffer, why aren’t I on the calendar?’ I said you were in Central Park [in New York at the time]. It’s not a big issue.”
The calendar was finalised on the 1st of September after the transfer window had closed. The report adds the club has the final approval over who goes on the product and not.

Further, a player might not be included as he might have been injured, not pictured in the right kit or might have not been playing in the first-team at the time, according to the report.
