Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is February's Manager of the Month

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has been named Barclays Premier League Manager of the Month after racking up a run of four consecutive victories in February.

The Argentinian has masterminded an unexpected bid for a first title since 1961, with Spurs currently sitting second in the table - five points behind leaders Leicester with nine games to play.

Tottenham entered the month in fine form before victories over Norwich, Watford, Manchester City and Swansea - as well as overcoming Fiorentina in the Europa League - took them to within touching distance of top spot.

Pochettino got the vote ahead of last month's winner Ronald Koeman, Leicester City's Claudio Ranieri, and Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink.
