Lets say your a young manager with ambition and integrity you could go to Juve and receive never-ending transfer fund from your oil billionaires but and heres the thing you are going to a club that has won its league for the last six or eight years on the trot I am not sure on how many times.
So where is the ambition you have won the league before the season starts and from what I am reading the gap with the Milan giants and Roma is getting wider year by year so what is your incentive?
Its a bit like the Mourino/Pep/Klopp/Ancelloti and the like who flit from one uber rich club to another uber rich club where their finances dictate that they are almost certain to win a trophy every year and TV /newspaper/and all media outlets fawn over these managers as tho they are football gods.
Well Poch could stay at Spurs and create and leave a dynasty that would reverberate around the football world that had been achieved had been doneorganically without the input of untold funds from Russian oligarchs and oil rich arab owners and in the case of city backed by the wealth of a country.
As a sidenote I still believe with all my heart that Pep would not have had the success he has had without the £750 million put into his transfer fund .
So does Poch stick or leave I would dearly love to believe that he is a man of integrity and honesty and will stay to complete his vision but football being football I will not hold my breath.
I believe that the arrival of these uber rich owners have made the French/italion/and to some extent the Spanish and German leagues irrelevant as these owners insist on domination in the league that they own a team .
to some extent the same is happening here with city but the likes of Liverpool/Spurs if Poch stays/Arsenal /Man united can have a say in stopping these tossers ruining football as a competitive spectator sport (witness City 6 Watford 0)
So come on Poch show some real ambition and go for something with spurs that would be difficult or go to a uber rich club and get almost guaranteed success to go to one of these clubs is not shown ambition its showing that you prefer the easy way to success

Apart from the waffling and bad grammar I would like to insert that I meant when a manager says " I need a new challenge " he is not taking on a challenge when he goes to one of the uber rich clubs and the challenge is with the likes of Spurs Everton even West Ham and the like because to make such clubs successful is the real challenge for men of vision and true grit.
I have added this to the above to replace in some cases the word ( ambition ) with the word challenge.

Only an educated opinion but I'd be surprised if he was planning on leaving, considering he's been identifying the players he wants in and out for next season.

Imagine going into your second ever final as a manager and preparing by negotiating a contract with a different club, journalists are beyond shit these days

Poch and pep are on huge contracts. I know juve got ronaldo. But would be a bold move to go for poch at least. Pep is a huge name but again, a lot of money.

I will not make decisions about my future after the final, it is important to know what the club's future plan is. If we want to return to the Champions League final next year and fight with Manchester City and Liverpool for the Premier League title, we need reinforcements. City's goal was to win the Champions League, ours to finish building our stadium.

Real Madrid? I have no other goals if I am not training Tottenham; football takes you where you deserve. Ahead of the final, we will train at Valdebebas and sleep in a nearby hotel. I asked Florentino to let us sleep in the sports center, but he told me that I can only sleep there when I become the coach of Real Madrid.

It confirms what many have been saying. We're ahead of schedule and going as far as we did was a bit of a spanner in the schedule. Sounds like the gauntlet is still on the ground. Would love to see a translation of the entire interview.

He has a vision. Levy has a vision. Lets hope those visions meet.

Guys, this is creeping more and more onto SC and at the risk of being a killjoy, we can't have foreign language posts on SC whatever the source. There's no way we can vouch for any content nor take the time to check and moderate it. You might (rightly) think an interview won't contain anything untoward but we can't pick and choose, its one of those things that if we don't allow, we can't make exceptions. It's frustrating but there it is.

If you want to post a foreign language post, only post the translated version please.

I've cleaned up the post and any relating to it. Please do bear this in mind going forward.
