Tottenham Hotspur’s highly-rated manager Mauricio Pochettino has been heavily linked with several jobs recently, including being Massimiliano Allegri’s successor at the helm of Seria A giants Juventus.
Still, we will have to wait until Tottenham plays the UEFA Champions League final match against Liverpool to learn if Pochettino considers a change of scenery.
During a press conference on Monday, Pochettino told reporters that he doesn’t want to discuss his future until after the clash with Liverpool on Saturday.
“Today, no one is more important than the game ahead,” – said Pochettino. “We can make history, we can provide our fans and our people the best happiness in football that you can provide and I think today to talk about individual things would be embarrassing and a shame.”
The 47-year-old Argentinian added that his team is more important than him at this moment.
“I am not important. I am not more important than the Champions League and the possibility to win a trophy,” – he explained. “Of course rumor is rumor and of course you are going to ask me about me, but today the focus is 200 percent on the final. After the final, we will have time to talk but today my commitment is about Tottenham.”
Mauricio Pochettino was targeted by several big European clubs in the past, but each time, he chose to stay in London and try to make a good result with Tottenham. Still, he indicated earlier this year that he is second-guessing his decision, and will consider remaining with the Hotspurs if he is given funds to build a contender and challenge Manchester City for supremacy in Premier League.
Mauricio Pochettino joined Tottenham in 2014 and managed to lead the team to four consecutive Top-4 finishes in Premier League since then. His biggest achievement in the national competition is being runner-up in 2016/17.
