Head coach Mauricio Pochettino admitted that he could have left his post if Tottenham had won the Champions League.

The former Argentine defender has established the Spurs among the four regular players since the Southampton exchange against North London in 2014.

Pochettino has not yet won a trophy, but it could hardly be better loved by the followers of Tottenham, especially after leading them in a memorable run to the Champions League final.

The Spurs lost 2-0 to the Premier League rivals in Liverpool in June, but this result apparently prevented Pochettino, so much vaunted, from moving to new pastures – and fueled his desire to engage with the club.

"It was an incredible time," he said. "After five years in a difficult project in Tottenham, we talk a lot about perception and reality, about our fight and all the energy we deploy to try to get Tottenham to compete with the best teams in Europe and Europe. d & # 39; England.

"Of course, it's always in your head, you never know. With what I am, I will always give priority to the club in relation to myself.

"Maybe if the result was different after the final, you might think," OK, maybe it's time to leave the club and give them the opportunity to create a new chapter with a new coaching staff ".

"But after the final, I felt it was not great to finish like this. I am not a person who avoids facing problems or a difficult situation.

"I like the daunting challenges, the challenging challenges and, of course, now rebuild that mentality to allow for a similar season to repeat, it's exciting and motivates me a lot."

When asked if he could have made a different decision if the Spurs had won the Champions League, Pochettino – who signed a new five-year improved contract last summer – said "Of course.

"You know very well that when you touch the glory, you behave differently, you feel different or the players feel different and the challenge becomes different."
