5. His work at Tottenham isn’t done

Men like Pochettino take great pride in finishing things they’ve begun. The Spurs manager is clearly off to a great start at Tottenham, but he certainly hasn’t completed his work.

You can’t underestimate the importance of the youth of his current squad. Many of his best players still have significant career growth in front of them. Players like Dele Alli and Harry Kane have real world-class potential. If Pochettino can elevate their games to that level, the results could be magnificent for the team.

Things would be much different if Pochettino had won even a single piece of silverware for the Tottenham faithful. Currently, he only has a Cup Final and a 3rd place finish in the league on his resume. If he left now, he’d leave far short of his own expectations for his time with the club.

Real Madrid are certainly a more talented side than Spurs right now, but they aren’t going anywhere. Pochettino could easily decide to stay put until he really accomplishes something noteworthy in the Premier League.
