Mauricio Pochettino labels Tottenham as 'best club in the world'
Sunday 5 November 2017 11:43, UK
Mauricio Pochettino has said he would "not change" the Tottenham job for any other in the world.
Tottenham, who have struggled in the Champions League in recent history, announced themselves on the European stage after they marched to a convincing 3-1 win over holders Real Madrid last Wednesday.
Alongside this, Pochettino's side have continued their consistent performances in the Premier League and after ten games they sit in third place behind only the two Manchester clubs.
The former Espanyol manager has been linked with a potential move back to La Liga with giants Real Madrid and Barcelona being touted as possible destinations for the Argentine.
However, Pochettino signed a new contract at Tottenham in May, extending his deal at the club until 2021, and has pledged his future to Spurs labelling them "the best in the world".

"I need to feel like this. That emotion is real because I cannot be fake it. I cannot translate that emotion to the players, I cannot translate that emotion to my chairman, to create the trust if you don't really believe. Today, for me, Tottenham is in my head 100 per cent.
"Today I do not change Tottenham for another position in the world because I am so involved, I am so focused, and because I think the club deserves to have people that think only about the club, the fans, the players and the structures
that provide us with an unbelievable life.
"It is an amazing club, everything is amazing and it's so important for us to pay back, no? To pay back the club in the same way that the club treats us."
