Tottenham Hotspur famously broke records before the season even kicked off this year, all by refusing to dip their toes into the transfer market.
Spurs became the first Premier League side in history to fail to purchase a single new player in the summer transfer window.
Since joining Spurs, Pochettino has only actually spent a net sum of just under £30m on players.
Using this tiny budget, he has qualified for the Champions League for three seasons in a row, as well as finishing in the Premier League top three.
The one thing missing from the Tottenham cabinet and Pochettino CV is a trophy however.
The last piece of silverware that Tottenham won was the League Cup back in 2008, after defeating Chelsea in the final.
Gary Neville has been speaking about how impressed he has been with the work of Pochettino, and what he believes will take Spurs to the next level.
