Tottenham manager, Mauricio Pochettino, admits he would have left the club if they had won the Champions League final last season.
Pochettino’s side lost 2-0 to Liverpool in the CL final in Madrid after defeating Ajax in the semi-final.
According to him, if the result of the final was in their favour, he would have stepped out of the club.
He said: “Maybe if it was a different result after the final you can think, ‘OK, maybe this is a moment to step out of the club, leave the club and give them the possibility of a really new chapter with a new coaching staff’.
“But after the final I felt this was not great to finish like this. I’m not a person that avoids facing problems or a difficult situation.
“I love a massive challenge, a difficult challenge and of course now to rebuild that mentality to make it possible to repeat a similar season, that is exciting and motivates me a lot.”
Asked if he could have made a different decision had Spurs won the Champions League, Pochettino admitted:
“For sure.
“You know very much when you touch glory you behave differently or you feel different or the players feel different and the challenge becomes different.”
