Ex-Tottenham star Poyet confident Pochettino will stay

Former Tottenham star Gus Poyet believes manager Mauricio Pochettino could yet stay next season.

While he hopes Pochettino won't leave this summer, he is even keener for him not to leave without some silverware.

Ahead of tonight's Champions League final, Poyet said: “It would be a shame if Pochettino were to leave the club or if any player leaves without a trophy. It would be really sad because they have done so much together.

“But I have doubts that Pochettino will leave.

“It's very difficult to talk about it now because winning and not winning completely changes the equation.

“There are so many key things for a manager to stay.

“In this case, they have moved into the stadium now and Pochettino will want to know what is going to happen to the main players – who will stay and who can he bring in and, with all that on the table, he will be able to make his decision.

“I have a feeling he will stay."
