Mauricio Pochettino’s men were knocked out of the Champions League this season but Juventus, who put on a show at Wembley not so long ago. The North London outfit are still a force in the FA Cup but have no chance of catching Manchester City at the top of the league table.
The FA Cup is their only shot at silverware while finishing in the top-4 will also be important but all this progress could be redundant if recent reports from France are true. According to a story from RMC, PSG are convinced that the Spurs boss is the right man to take the team forward in the near future.
The French giants were also knocked out of the Round of 16 this week, by defending champions Real Madrid and this has put manager Unai Emery’s job at the club under jeopardy. They are favourites to win all the domestic titles in France but that might not save Emery’s job, who PSG want to replace with Pochettino. But can Spurs let that happen?
Standing as one of the most consistent and in-form sides not just in England but also in Europe, Tottenham Hotspur are a serious threat to silverware in Europe. They beat Real Madrid in the group stage and took a 2-2 draw from their trip to Turin but fell short at the right time. But a lot of credit has to be given to Pochettino, who has built a strong squad at Wembley.
He has a particular recruitment model, that does not require to spend big. He is happy to spend on potential superstars and give them the confidence to realize their potential and that has made the Argentine mastermind a respected man in the European circuit.
His methods have taken Spurs to three consecutive Champions League qualifications and though he is yet to win any trophy in his time in London, he has shown that he is more than capable of doing so, in all these years.
The likes of Real Madrid are also scouting for him as an option to replace Zinedine Zidane but Tottenham Hotspur just cannot afford to lose him anytime soon.
The current Spurs team is the best the club has seen for more than a decade but they have nothing to show for it and the club hierarchy will have to do everything they can to keep him, at least till he tastes some success in the capital city of England.
At 46, he is still relatively young and losing him will certainly push back the club’s progress at least by a couple of years. So this is probably the worst time for Spurs to lose their manager. But do you think they can keep him beyond this summer?
