Tottenham 0-2 Liverpool - 4 Talking Points | 2018/2019 UEFA Champions League final 

#2 Could this be the end of Pochetino's era at Spurs

Ajax v Tottenham Hotspur - UEFA Champions League Semi Final: Second Leg

Mauricio Pochetino was appointed as Tottenham manager in the summer of 2014 and since then, the Argentine has transformed the North London side into not just serial top four finishers, but also Premier League and now Champions League contenders.

The 47-year-old deserves immense praise for his performance on the Spurs bench, especially seeing as he has not been financially backed as much as his more illustrious counterparts in the Premier League and elsewhere.

Instead, Pochetino has transformed a group of young players into world beaters and it is not surprising that his work has not gone unnoticed, with the former Southampton manager having been linked with a number of high profile jobs in the last year including that of Real Madrid and Manchester United.

However, he showed great loyalty in keeping to his commitment, but having seen out the season, Pochetino confirmed that he would speak with the Tottenham board over his future and the direction the club wants to take.

Pochetino is unarguably one of the best managers in the world at the moment and a coach of his ability needs the requisite backing in the transfer market to get the right materials to work with.

On account of Tottenham's frugal financial operations, the Lily Whites might not be the club to help Pochetino realize his ambitions and he has stated as much.

With the Juventus managerial role having been opened following Allegri's departure at the end of the just concluded season, Pochetino stoked the embers of speculation by stating that 'Italy is my home', leading to rumours that he could be on his way to Turin to manage Cristiano Ronaldo.
