Why this leaning score
The article presents neutral, factual information with a moderate level of specificity and objectivity in describing Pochettino's achievements as coach, suggesting a slightly positive tone through the use of an achievement-oriented sentence about his coaching record.
Written under an earlier scoring contract, which gave a paragraph
rather than checkable quotes. Re-analysing this article replaces it.
