What Glenn Hoddle has heard about Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham future

Glenn Hoddle has revealed what he has heard about Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham future.

Spurs round off their campaign with the Champions League final against Liverpool on June 1 with question marks over whether Pochettino will stay in north London this summer.

But Hoddle reckons the Argentine is going nowhere and will be given money to splash in the transfer market.

"He might just be boxing clever a bit. What I know from behind the scenes at the club there has been money available, there will be money available in the summer," Hoddle told football.london.

"If he wins or loses, this is something he has been building and if he goes off to some of these other clubs being spoken about it's a rebuild, instantly it's a rebuild at a lot of clubs now.

"He'll be looking back at the five years he's had and if they win [the final] I think he's suddenly jumped to the top of the tree. He's the creme de la creme, but he would like to go for the Premier League [title] and get the consistency of challenging himself and the team, with the new stadium and that stand, the training ground, the squad, a better squad in the summer and buying better players, maybe not better but stronger players for a deeper squad.

"It's all there. He'd have to start from scratch from these other clubs. I think he's the type of guy who takes pride in what he's doing and if he gets the right players in then he could do it the other way around if they win.

"If they lose I think it will drive him on. They still haven't won a trophy. Tottenham Hotspur have got a problem with winning finals and that why he hasn't won anything yet.

"It will be fascinating if he goes straight to the top and wins the Champions League, but I don't see him resting on his laurels and going off. He'll have other challenges to develop a consistent level of success at Tottenham. That will be his next challenge."
