Pochettino may leave Spurs

AMSTERDAM (AP):

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has suggested he may look for a new challenge if he can lead his team to the Champions League title this season.

Tottenham are 1-0 down to Ajax heading into the second leg of the semi-finals in Amsterdam today.

Asked whether he thought winning the Champions League would have been possible when he joined Spurs five years ago, Pochettino said: “Winning the Champions League? It should be fantastic, no? Close the five-year ­chapter and go home.”

Pochettino was then asked if he was joking, and he replied: “It’s not a joke, why? To win the Champions League with Tottenham in these ­circumstances this season, maybe I need to think about maybe doing something ­different in the future.”
