Tilton/Getty Images Mauricio Pochettino has recalled two transfer deals that Tottenham Hotspur failed to complete that he believes would have elevated them to the next tier. The Argentine led Spurs for five-and-a-half years with two Premier League title pushes, four top-four placements, and one UEFA Champions League final showing before being fired in 2019 by then chairman Daniel Levy six months after that evening in Madrid. Pochettino, currently the head coach of the U.

S. Men's National Team and gearing up for a home World Cup, has been reflecting on his spell in North London and how close they came to winning trophies. Spurs notoriously went through two transfer windows without acquiring a single player during that Champions League final season in 2018/19, but Pochettino highlighted a failed double signing more than two years prior as being equally significant to the club falling short of reaching the next stage.
