Will Mauricio Pochettino establish Tottenham dynasty after signing new deal?

In Tottenham frontman Kane, Pochettino has installed a real work ethic. “If you’re tired, he wants you to train harder so you don’t get tired,” said the Spurs striker. Recovery is important as well but when we train, we train at 110 per cent and don’t leave anything unturned. That’s the way it is.”

Former PSG man Pochettino describes Bielsa as ‘like a father’ and certainly looks like he has picked up some of his methods. Bielsa instils an intense, fast-tempo and high-pressing game, suffocating the opposition. Similar to that of this year’s Tottenham.

However, unlike his mentor, Pochettino his players more freedom within a clear structure. Gary Neville observed: “In my role as an England coach I have noticed the difference in psychology and application when Tottenham players come into the camp. They now arrive prepared for the battle.”

This should excite Tottenham fans; Neville, a born winner that grew up in culture of excellence driven by the need for constant success, recognises the Spurs players’ great mental attitude and willingness to give it all.

With their youngsters continuing to development in the manager’s impressive system, their is no reason why Spurs will not win the Premier League in the coming years and are 5/2 with Coral to lift it before 2021.

Mauricio to taste European success?

Pochettino rarely criticises referees, discusses transfers or takes on other managers. In this regard, he is the opposite of one Spurs predecessor, Harry Redknapp, who seemed to relish to chance to hang out the window of his Range Rover discussing the details of business.

The Argentine is a man focused on what he can do to ensure the success of his team and can clearly see a bright future for his players.

Pochettino said: “This club has all the ingredients to continue to challenge at the very top in both the Premier League and in Europe. We want to be here to be a part of what I believe will be a special period in the club’s history.”

The ingredients of success are there in North London, but they might need some investment to see them over the line.

Construction of a £400m new stadium is the horizon and managing the club’s finances could become a delicate balancing act in the coming seasons. However, it has been reported that chairman Daniel Levy will invest upwards of £60m on talent this summer, but will expect a return on the field.

Tottenham exited the Europa League with an embarrassing 5-1 aggregate defeat at the hands of Borussia Dortmund, with Pochettino resting key players to focus on the league. However, now in next year’s Champions League, Levy will expect the team to compete on both fronts.

Spurs have three European football titles to their name, two UEFA Cups and a Cup Winners Cup that came in 1963. Pochettino’s players are 6/1 to lift a European trophy before 2021.
