Mauricio Pochettino celebrates after Tottenham’s semi-final win over Ajax in Amsterdam
The Argentine, linked with the Real Madrid and Manchester United jobs earlier this season, even hinted he could end his five-year spell in north London if they beat Liverpool in Madrid on May 1.
Speaking ahead of his side’s stunning semi-final comeback against Ajax, Pochettino said: “Winning the Champions League? Yes, it would be fantastic, no? Close a five-year chapter and go home.”
Asked by a reporter if he was joking, the boss then said: “It’s not a joke. Why?

Pochettino’s comments left plenty of heads scratching, and he cast further doubt on his future just days later by again hinting he could leave if he is not ‘given the tools’ for further success.
And, speaking to Paul Coyte on talkSPORT2, former Spurs star Mido said: “Pochettino has done a great job and I would be really, really disappointed if he leaves Tottenham.
“But, I think he will leave.
“I think he will leave [at the end of] this season. Honestly.
“I see him in his press conferences and I hear what he’s saying. I really feel it.”

Mauricio Pochettino has been linked with a move to take over at Italy giants Juventus
Juventus are the latest club to be linked with an interest in the Argentine.
Reports in Italy have even claimed Pochettino has been speaking with the Serie A champions for the past ‘20 days’ over the possibility of succeeding Massimiliano Allegri.
And Mido can see it happening.
“You know what, Juventus would never let a manager go if they didn’t already have a deal with another manager,” he added.
“I really think he will be leaving. I might be wrong, but I have the feeling he will leave.”
