Mauricio Pochettino believes that Tottenham Hotspur must be a club which is competing to win the Premier League and Champions League titles.
The Argentine came so close to winning both during his six-year tenure in North London; however, it was not meant to be the first time around.
True or false: Tottenham re-appointing Mauricio Pochettino would be a bad idea…
Most recently, the North London club ended their 17-year wait for silverware by winning the Europa League, and whilst a trophy is great, Pochettino knows the fans expect more.
Now, amid links of a return to Spurs, the 53-year-old has been discussing what needs to change at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Mauricio Pochettino says Tottenham must win more trophies
Mauricio Pochettino claims that Tottenham Hotspur is now a club which needs to be competing to win the two biggest honours.
The Argentine coach believes that the North London club has changed so much since his time at the club, and the facilities are now in place to win major honours.
However, right now, what is missing is the know-how of how to get there and, of course, both the playing and coaching staff.

Speaking about how Tottenham has changed, Pochettino told High Performance Podcast: “It’s a little bit unfair to compare this period with another period, because now, Tottenham is a club that needs to think about winning the Premier League and the Champions League.
“The facilities are Champions League, and in the past, we didn’t have that, but now it’s about winning the Premier League or Champions League.
“I think it’s true that the fans today appreciate us because we were challenging for the Premier League and for the Champions League.”

Pochettino, who has been linked with a return to Tottenham, also added that the fans expect to be fighting for both the Premier League and Champions League.
“To win the Europa League is good because when you celebrate a trophy, that is good, but it’s not enough,” said Poch.
“It’s not enough for a club like Tottenham. It’s not enough to challenge for the Carabao Cup or the FA Cup, the Europa League or the Conference.
“The fans expect to be in the Champions League, fighting for the Champions League, trying to believe that you can win the Champions League.
“Also fighting for the Premier League and believing that you can win the Premier League.”
