Pochettino is 54 years old 🇦🇷
He shared a room with Diego Maradona during his playing career.
Pochettino drove a tractor on the family farm from the age of 12–13 and helped with farm work as a kid.
He keeps a box or bowl of lemons in his office, believing they absorb negative energy
As a player he holds the record for most appearances by a foreigner at Espanyol (301 games) and is nicknamed "Sheriff" or "Sheriff de Murphy"
He is a polyglot who speaks Spanish, English, Catalan, and some French.
He often looks at a photo of himself as a two-year-old, smiling and clutching a football outside his father's shed, to remind himself who he really is
His mother calls him a "llorona" (crybaby) because he cries when he’s happy and when he's sad, a song from his past can make him tear up on the drive home.
One of his most vivid childhood memories is watching Argentina win the 1978 World Cup with his father on a small black-and-white TV powered by a tractor battery.
He has spoken about the quiet pain of growing distant from his parents after leaving home at 14, and how hard it has been to rebuild that closeness.

Pochettino is like that normal person that still appreciates and does the simple things of life.
He keeps his childhood hobbies and beliefs close, even as an adult.
And the fact that he left home af 14 years old, and even till today, he still finds it hard to connect with his parents.
.
.
He has no heavy controversy around him. He just does his work and focuses on his coaching career.
And he's proof that if you just continue going for what you believe in, people will talk and say all sort of things.
But the people that want you and believe in your own unique style, will find you eventually.
And that's all that matters.
.
.
Congratulations Pochettino👏🏾

There is no stagnation in nature; you either move or you are moved.
And today, I move from being a P.O.P. apprentice to becoming a https://t.co/yztZMYTLmK. Mathematics graduate of the University of Ibadan, Second Class Upper. 🎓
One of the best videos you'd watch today.
Meet Fortune, He tells the story of how Substance Use , Cocaine affected him.
Watch his transformation with WE ARE NOT THUGS @RectorPascal.
The University of Ibadan starts their convocation ceremonies from today. Where's the tent?? I'm coming with my crew to hunt ooo
We must keep the tradition alive
His wife is 65 years 🇺🇸
They have been married for 41 years.
As early microchip designers, she reportedly earned more money
She totally left engineering work to raise their two children while Jensen Huang built Nvidia from a small start-up. ❤️
She was one of only three women in a class of roughly 250 electrical-engineering students at Oregon State University when she and Jensen met.
Jensen was 17 years when he walked up to the 19 year old Lori (his wife) and asked, "Do you want to see my homework?"
He promised that if they studied together every Sunday she would get straight A's, turning homework sessions into weekly dates.
Around the same time he also told her he would be a CEO by age 30. A promise he kept when he co-founded Nvidia in 1993.
Jensen has repeatedly called meeting her "the most important, single event of Oregon university, and of my life"
They married in 1985, the same year she graduated with her electrical-engineering degree.
Their daughter Madison trained as a chef at the Culinary Institute of America and Le Cordon Bleu in Paris before later joining Nvidia.
Their son Spencer ran a cocktail bar in Taipei for years before eventually joining the company as well.
She serves as president of the Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang Foundation, which holds tens of millions of Nvidia shares and billions in assets.
In 2022 the couple gave $50 million to Oregon State University (the campus where they met) to create a major innovation complex named after both of them.
Jensen has said he does "zero percent" of his own shopping and that Lori (with their daughter) chooses his clothes, including the signature black leather jacket.
He has publicly credited her with being "part of Nvidia every step of the way" and with handling the personal and financial details of their life.
For more than four decades she has kept an almost completely private profile while standing beside the creation of one of the world's most valuable technology companies.
.

It's quite sad what is happening currently and how shattered Lori Huang must be.
For over 40 years, she has kept an incredibly low and private profile, but now she's everywhere on the internet, and it's not for good reasons.
She is a heavy philanthropist who left her engineering career to focus on parenting. Jensen Huang even joked that she did 90% of the parenting of their kids.
Imagine a woman that was just one out of 3 female students in an engineering class of 247 male students... Now having to leave that engineering career and focus on family.
.
.
Jensen Huang has also taken accountability and responsibility by publicly apologising to his wife in a letter.
His wife is 65 years old. Jensen is 63 years old.
Contemplating with divorce at this age where they are supposed to be having a smooth retirement together, might be heavy on Lori.
I personally feel she's in a situation where no one absolutely wants to be in. Not to mention that it's now public and online strangers will try to shame her for whatever decision she makes, going forward.
.
.
.
Overall, I hope their 2 children are okay.
Watching mom and dad trend on the internet for these reasons, is definitely not what any child would want.
I truly do hope they get the emotional support they need, no matter how old they are. They are still mummy and daddy's boy and girl, and it's going to be heavy on them as well.
.
.
.
I wish the family of Huang all the peace and emotional safety that they need, during this hard period.

Thank you for sharing this insight Issan
Your parents divorced mutually and with a bigger goal in mind.
We can even say it was a gradual process that landed in a mutual decision.
.
.
But Jenson cheated and publicly admitted to having an affair outside his marriage.
Now this is totally different. So totally different.
.
.
Divorce that comes with gradual withdrawal and detachment of both partners, is easier to process than the divorce that came through infidelity and intense unwanted Internet judgment.
.
.
I appreciate you once again for sharing this with us all. Thank you for showing us how life can be multi-faced at time, and how it often doesn't always dance to our tunes 🫂
You are right ma'am
She was even reportedly earning more money than him, when they first started their engineering careers.
And then she left the career, and tried to fill in for their children, so that they won't experience absent parenting.
Fine, we can't 100% accurately say what a person's true intentions are, but with the little information we have access to, and even the Jenson's public apology to his wife.... I think we can at least make a pretty good assessment.
.

Thank you very much for reading and sharing your thoughts sister.
Oh I'm so sorry to hear about this.
And I appreciate you telling us how much it can impact everyone in the family.
This is what I'm trying to tell people on here.
42 years of marriage and then having to go through infidelity can change everything and affect the family dynamics very quickly.

Thank you Butzi 🫂
