The Argentine, linked with the Real Madrid and Manchester United jobs earlier this season, even hinted he could end his five-year spell in north London if they beat Liverpool in Madrid on May 1.
Speaking ahead of his side’s stunning semi-final comeback against Ajax, Pochettino said: “Winning the Champions League? Yes, it would be fantastic, no? Close a five-year chapter and go home.”
Asked by a reporter if he was joking, the boss then said: “It’s not a joke. Why?

Mauricio Pochettino has been linked with a move to take over at Italy giants Juventus
Juventus are the latest club to be linked with an interest in the Argentine.
Reports in Italy have even claimed Pochettino has been speaking with the Serie A champions for the past ‘20 days’ over the possibility of succeeding Massimiliano Allegri.
