Mauricio Pochettino tells Tottenham fans exactly what they want to hear over his future

Mauricio Pochettino has responded to speculation about his future, saying he wants to stay for 'five more years at least'.

It's been a difficult start to the season with matters both on and off the pitch building pressure on the Spurs manager.

Pochettino has appeared agitated at times so far this term leading to rumours that his time with Tottenham Hotspur may be coming to an end.

That was only intensified by the recent Carabao Cup defeat to Colchester United and the Tuesday's 7-2 thrashing by Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

But despite the speculation, Pochettino insists that it's times like these when the club need to stick together.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, he said: "That is a moment to stay all together, I accept the opinions when you don’t win, it doesn’t only happen at Tottenham, it happens in all the clubs in the world, at a different level too.

"It is normal that that game creates a lot of opinion and rumours and everyone needs to talk.

"In the end all that happened is that we lost a game. There is no doubt we are staying together and we are going to find the way to be successful again, no doubt.

“In five and a half years, in every single press conference we’re talking about my future. I hope that we’re still talking it means we’re going to spend five more years at least.”
