Tottenham boss Pochettino: We're miles ahead of original project

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is adamant he's met the remit demanded when first taking charge.

Despite failing to win any trophies since his appointment, Pochettino argues he has over shot the targets set by some distance.

He explained: “If we want to grow, if we want to be competitive, if we want one day to be close to winning, to coping the pressure in football, when you play for a win you need to learn how to manage that pressure.

"Four and a half years ago when they offered me the Tottenham job the idea was to build a team for the Champions League in the moment we arrive in the new stadium.

“This is our third Champions League in a row, one at White Hart Lane, three time at Wembley. We are ahead of the project. We are miles ahead."
