Mauricio Pochettino calm over new Tottenham contract talks

Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino insists he is calm over his future and says now is not the time to discuss a new contract.

Several English newspapers have reported that the club have opened talks with the Argentine about extending the five-year deal he signed when he moved from Southampton in 2014.

Pochettino has revitalised Spurs into a title-challenging side, who moved to within two points of Premier League-leaders Leicester with a 2-0 win at Aston Villa on Sunday.

But he told Sky Sports: "[My future] is not important. We need to fight every day and arrive at the end of the season in good condition.

"The club and the supporters deserve us to do our job. The most important thing is to keep working hard.

"I have three years left on my contract so it is not a big problem. I'm enjoying it a lot, we're in a very good position with the team and the supporters."

Harry Kane scored twice as Spurs put to bed a disappointing period in which they picked up just one point from a possible six, blowing their chance to go top of the Premier League, and were beaten heavily by Borussia Dortmund in their Europa League last-16 first leg.

"I think it was important after the last few games that were difficult for us, to recover our way, how we play and I think that we played well," Pochettino said.

I think it was important after the last few games that were difficult for us, to recover our way.

"It was difficult again because you know when you play teams at the bottom, who are fighting for survival, it is difficult. I'm happy and pleased with the effort, the performance and the result too.

"This victory arrived in a moment when we needed it. We are in a good position. There are a lot of games to play, a lot of points [to play for] and we'll see what happens until the end of the season."
