Spurs boss Pochettino says it's time to win silverware

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino says it's time to win silverware.

Pochettino has delivered four consecutive top-four finishes in the Premier League without Spurs spending as much money as their rivals, but his lack of silverware is often highlighted.

"My personal feeling is that starting my sixth season, I need to lift a trophy," he admitted. "Carabao Cup, FA Cup, Premier League or Champions League.

"I am not saying it is time. I don't want to put pressure on the team or the club.

"But if you ask me personally, this season is not about finishing in the top four to be successful - although of course maybe that matters for the club. But for me, it is about winning a title.

"If not, after last season's final, to be again in the top four and reach the semi-final of the Carabao Cup, it is like, 'Come on!'

"You are always there but you cannot touch the glory. That is personally - me. My personal target, objective, aim to be successful this season is to lift a trophy."
