Pochettino: Tottenham stadium move came at wrong time but Mourinho can win Spurs a trophy

The Argentine admitted his old side's change of home came at the wrong time, just as his squad could have moved to another level

Mauricio Pochettino says Tottenham missed an opportunity to take their squad to the next level when they built their new stadium – but he is hopeful Jose Mourinho can lift a trophy at his old club.

Pochettino believes the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is now one of the best arenas in Europe, but he rued the effect the move had on both his squad and his transfer budget.

Spurs were temporarily re-homed at Wembley, where results stagnated and their Premier League rivals continued to spend big.
