Pochettino 'Motivated' to Stay at Tottenham

Mauricio Pochettino says he is “motivated” to stay at Tottenham and take them to the next level.

Pochettino’s Spurs future has been uncertain following comments he made before the Champions League semi-final victory over Ajax, in which he suggested he could walk away if they were to win the competition.

There has also been speculation in Italy that he is of interest to Juventus, who recently parted ways with Massimiliano Allegri.

But Pochettino told talkSPORT on Friday: “Tottenham, for me, is the best club in the world.

“When we talk about facilities – this training ground, a stadium that is the best in the world – there is no better club.

“Then it’s London – there is no better city. And the Premier League is the most tough and the most exciting league in the world.

“We need to make that step. Of course, we realise we can continue in this process, we can put Tottenham with the best teams in the world.”
