Pochettino: If Tottenham had won the Champions League perhaps I would have moved on
Premier League Surprise revelation from the Spurs coach
Mauricio Pochettino revealed that, should his Tottenham side have won the Champions League final in June against Liverpool, he may have ended up leaving the club.
Spurs were the big surprise of the competition last season, reaching the final against Jurgen Klopp's side in miraculous fashion.
However, the Argentine coach admitted the possibility of quitting his position had they lifted the trophy in Madrid instead of Liverpool.
"Maybe if it was a different result after the final you can think that this may be a moment to step away from the club and give them the possibility of a really new chapter with new coaching staff," he stated.
"Yet after the final I felt this was not great to finish like this. I'm not a person that avoids facing problems or a difficult situation.
"I love a massive challenge, a difficult challenge and of course now to rebuild that mentality to make it possible to repeat a similar season, that is exciting and motivates me a lot," Pochettino said.
