Mauricio Pochettino guided Spurs to a 4-1 win over Liverpool on Sunday
The French captain voted on behalf of his national team on a number of categories at Fifa’s Best Football Awards in London last night.
Lloris placed his club boss as number two - behind Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane.
And the Argentine, who guided Spurs to a 4-1 thrashing over Liverpool on Sunday, was able to laugh off his snubbing.
“He voted for me number two,” Pochettino laughed.

“Who was number one? Zidane? Well, he’s French!
“I am happy, it’s normal. Zidane received the trophy for best manager and he deserves to be number-one.”
Pochettino was at the London-based event alongside top goalscorer Harry Kane and keeper Lloris.
And he hopes some of his players will be shortlisted for awards when the occasion comes around next year.

“It was fantastic to meet a lot of football people, difficult to meet everyone and see in different places, we enjoyed a lot,” Pochettino added.
“It motivates you and I hope next season we have a few players nominated.
"It is massive motivation for us to be there, and helps us to achieve big things and one day be there."
