Some Spurs fans on social media are involved in a fierce debate as to whether Mauricio Pochettino can be considered a success at Tottenham, after the Argentine’s recent admission to the press about his time at the club.
Pochettino revealed in an interview with El Pais that he had disagreements with the club’s hierarchy over the path forward and also admitted that perhaps a change was needed after five and a half years at the helm.
Reacting to the former Tottenham manager’s words, some immediately targeted Daniel Levy and accused him of not supporting the Argentine enough.
However, it looks as if Arsenal winning the FA Cup on Saturday night may have caused some Spurs fans to reevaluate Pochettino’s time at the club.
A few questioned why the 48-year-old could not deliver a single trophy during his five and a half years in charge despite having some exceptionally talented players to work with.
Here are some examples of the argument that has been raging between Spurs fans on social media for the past 24 hours:

One of Pochettino’s biggest mistakes at Tottenham was not giving the FA Cup, League Cup and the Europa League, the attention they deserved. After coming close to winning the league on a couple of occasions from 2016-2018, Poch seemed to double-down on his assertion that domestic cup competitions are not important. The criticism he received about the lack of silverware to show for his work clearly got to him. However, there is no debate that the Argentine is one of our most successful managers in recent history even though he failed to win trophies as he helped transform the club on and off the pitch.
