Tottenham fans will love what Mauricio Pochettino just said about Spurs ambitions
Mauricio Pochettino is the name on everyone’s lips right now when it comes to Tottenham Hotspur, and it seems he can’t stop talking about Spurs, either.
With Thomas Frank under growing pressure at Tottenham, many fans have already made up their mind that they want to see Mauricio Pochettino back at the helm.
Obviously, Pochettino is still employed by the USA and has a World Cup to prepare for. However, beyond this summer, his future is unclear.
It’s thought Pochettino would jump at the chance to return to Spurs, and if he does, he’ll seemingly bring a return to the more ambitious, adventurous era at the club.
Mauricio Pochettino makes big Tottenham claim
During Pochettino’s reign, Tottenham were challenging for Premier League titles and made it to the Champions League final. Those days are long gone now, but he doesn’t believe they should be forgotten.
Speaking on the High Performance Podcast, Pochettino said: “It’s a little bit unfair to compare this period with another period, because now, Tottenham is a club that needs to think about winning the Premier League and the Champions League.
“The facilities are Champions League, and in the past, we didn’t have that, but now it’s about winning the Premier League or Champions League.
“I think it’s true that the fans today appreciate us because we were challenging for the Premier League and for the Champions League.”
Not so long ago, Spurs fans were split on Pochettino’s potential return, but the fact of the matter is, he just gets this football club.
The Argentinian coach went on to praise the club’s Europa League triumph last season, but insisted the Lilywhites should demand more.
He added: “To win the Europa League is good because when you celebrate a trophy, that is good, but it’s not enough,” said Poch.
“It’s not enough for a club like Tottenham. It’s not enough to challenge for the Carabao Cup or the FA Cup, the Europa League or the Conference.
“The fans expect to be in the Champions League, fighting for the Champions League, trying to believe that you can win the Champions League.
“Also fighting for the Premier League and believing that you can win the Premier League.”
It’s time for Pochettino to come home
The fact that Pochettino is talking so openly about Tottenham right now, with a World Cup on the way, tells us all we need to know about his mindset. It would seem he almost certainly wants to return to the club, and the board should make it happen.
Pochettino keeps dropping hints about Spurs, and most importantly, he very obviously still loves this football club. Given the disharmony around Tottenham right now, we could really do with that kind of positivity and to feel like the man in charge actually cares.
I’ve always believed we shouldn’t go back. However, it now feels like there is no better option than to return to the good old days of Pochettino and hope that he can rekindle that special feeling around the club once more.
