Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jermaine Jenas believes that Mauricio Pochettino will remain the club’s manager despite his recent comments.

Pochettino raised eyebrows this week when he hinted that he could leave the club after the Champions League final.

In the eyes of Jenas though, the Argentine tactician won’t be going anywhere this summer.

The BT pundit said (quoted by football.london): “There’s no way if he wins the Champions League, I think he has already been promised some money to spend, and that club is only going in one direction, and he is going to want to be a part of it.”

Tottenham, of course, will contest the final in Madrid with Liverpool, after launching a stunning comeback against Ajax in the semi-final.

TBR’s view

Pochettino, as Jenas also says, has made similar comments previously during his tenure as Tottenham boss.

Despite a lot of talk in the past, Pochettino has never come close to leaving the club, and now great things could be on the horizon for Spurs.

They could win the Champions League in Madrid which would be an incredible achievement. Wanting to leave after something like would be a major surprise.

The club have just moved stadiums and there is a high chance that a host of new players will be brought in this summer.

With Manchester United and Real Madrid having both recently announced new managers, there is surely even less motive for Pochettino to leave Spurs.
