Pochettino has been linked with the vacant Juventus job following Massimiliano Allegri’s departure.“It’s too early to talk a lot now, so early,” the Tottenham boss said.“We need to assimilate that defeat. For sure we are going to have time to talk in the future. The future can be tomorrow, after tomorrow.“It is not a moment to talk too much. You can interpret things in different ways.“People want to compare me with different managers but they don’t know that we are in a different project in a different position and different place.“But the people want to be more clever and they want to give an opinion without an argument.Getty2

Mauricio Pochettino’s wait for silverware goes on

“In five years at Tottenham, the project was so clear, our ambition was amazing, and the commitment from the players was amazing – the club played their first Champions League final.“Now is the time to stay calm, change the mood, for sure we are going to have time to talk.”Pochettino guided Tottenham to a Champions League final despite going two transfer windows without making a signing.The former Southampton manager admitted Spurs run to the final could kickstart a successful period for the club.“We need to be clever now,” he said.“Always after a painful situation like today, it’s about building the success and to build the next period in your life.“Of course it’s going to be tough, but in the same way now after a couple of hours, we need to change our mind and be positive.“We’ve been playing against a team that three or four years ago was being designed to reach finals, not necessarily to win them, but to get to them. “We are a team that has priorities that is shared with the stadium. We looked at the quality of our players in the final but it would have been incredible to win today and lift the trophy.“It would have been something that would have surprised people because in the last five years Tottenham prioritised their stadium and spent zero on transfers.“We’re not the smartest in the class but not the stupidest either. But it is incredible and this club deserves a lot of credit.“Hopefully it will be the beginning of a very successful period for the club.”
