However, the Portuguese tactician believes Pochettino must change his stance on what represents success in football ‘the day he starts winning trophies’.

Pochettino is understood to have suggested that finishing in the top four of the English Premier League and qualifying for the UEFA Champions League is as good as winning a silverware.

But speaking to beIN Sports, Mourinho observed that he disagrees with the Spurs' manager when it comes to determining success as a football manager.

"He’s different than me," Mourinho stated.
"He thinks different than me or the day he starts winning trophies he changes his communication," he further explained.

The former Chelsea manager was, however, quick to admit that he likes Pochettino as a person and coach.

Be that as it may, the Argentine tactician who is rated as one of the most talented managers in the world is yet to win a major trophy but has guided Spurs to three consecutive Champions League qualifications.

He is United's preferred choice to take over at Old Trafford at the end of the season as Mourinho's permanent replacement at the club.

According to the Daily Mail citing ESPN FC., the former Three Lions captain, who currently plies his trade in Major League Soccer (MLS), believes the Argentine tactician is the right man for the job.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism.

The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
