Spurs boss Pochettino: I face biggest test of managerial career

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino admits the coming weeks are the biggest challenge of his career.

Spurs are battling for a top four finish, are preparing for the Capital One Cup final and in the middle of a Europa League tie with Fiorentina.

"Yes, maybe (this is the biggest challenge I have faced as a manager)," Pochettino said. "Maybe yes. It depends.

"I think that it is a good challenge for us, for me personally, but I feel good. I am prepared to enjoy these moments.

"We have ahead a lot of very tough games and one final. I think it is good for the club, good for our supporters and for our players, too.

"But I don't think too much. It is only to enjoy moments and try to prepare them in the best way for their next game.

"Always in football, you need to enjoy. If not, it is difficult to give your best.

"Football is emotion - you need to be in your best condition to play in your best level."
