Mauricio Pochettino May Have Considered Tottenham Exit with Champions League Win

Mauricio Pochettino has said he might have left Tottenham Hotspur if they won the UEFA Champions League final back in June against Liverpool.

Instead, Spurs suffered a 2-0 defeat to their Premier League rivals at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid.

As a result, Pochettino said he did not think it was a good time to step away from the job he has held since 2014, per the Press Association (h/t Sporting Life):

"Maybe if it was a different result after the final you can think, 'OK, maybe this is a moment to step out of the club, leave the club and give them the possibility of a really new chapter with a new coaching staff'.
