Champions League final: What Pochettino said after 2-0 defeat to Liverpool

Tottenham Hotspur manager, Mauricio Pochettino, appeared to rule out the possibility of leaving, following their Champions League final defeat against Liverpool.

Pochettino watched on, as Spurs were defeated 2-0 by the Reds on Saturday night in Madrid.

The Argentine has been linked with the vacant Juventus manager’s job, following Massimiliano Allegri’s departure last month.

But, when asked whether he would be in charge to lead Spurs in the Champions League next season, he said: “Always. We have to try, we have to believe. We hope it will happen again as soon as possible.”

Pochettino also stressed how happy he was at White Hart Lane and how keen he is to experience similar occasions in charge of the club.

“I am so happy to manage this group of players.

“Congratulations to Liverpool, they have a fantastic set of players and they’ve had a fantastic season.

“The standard are so high. It wasn’t enough today and it’s a shame. When you live this experience, you want to be again and you want to repeat. It is the best game in the world after the World Cup [final]. I hope we can repeat in the future,” he said.
