Tottenham gaffer Mauricio Pochettino has finally landed a title for himself after being named manager of the year at London Football Awards on Thursday night, February 28.

Since the Argentine football manager took over at Tottenham, he has never won a trophy and has been criticized by football fans and pundits.

The 46-year-old year now has something to smile with even though the expectation of many will be for him to win either the Premier League, Champions League or FA Cup.

Mauricio Pochettino received the award from Spurs legend Ossie Ardiles at the fifth annual London Football Awards at Battersea Evolution.

He beat embattled Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri to the award on Thursday night, February 28.

“Again we're going to have the debate whether a trophy will take the club to the next level.

"I don't agree with it. It only builds your ego. The most important thing for Tottenham right now is to always be in the top four,'' Pochettino explained according to UK Sun.

Tottenham are currently occupying third position on the Premier League standings with 60 points after 28 games played this season.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Tottenham gaffer Mauricio Pochettino played down reports linking him with a move to Manchester United as a replacement for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

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
