Pochettino believes that managing Tottenham has made him a better boss
Spurs made it to the semifinals of the EFL Cup with a 2-0 victory over north London rivals Arsenal and the Lilywhites currently sit 3rd in the Premier League standings.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men have also advanced to the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League, leaving the manager to believe that he has become a better boss having guided the club to success on three fronts.
Asked whether the challenges he has faced this season have improved him, Pochettino told several national newspapers: “Yes, of course. We are a better coaching staff today.
“We are a better coaching team, but not only the coaching staff. The medical staff, everyone in this football club is improving. We are much better now.
“We are learning a lot. Only you can learn if you are humble enough to accept the criticism and accept that in some moments you can be wrong.
“Not only do we analyse the team and the players, every single decision we always review ourselves to try to see if we were right, if we were wrong or if we can be better or not.
“Sometimes you don’t get the result you want and you say, ‘Okay, but if we were in the same position again we would repeat the decision’.
“But in another situation, maybe [you] say, ‘We need to be better in our decision, our assessment’. Always it is so important how we assess ourselves.”
There will be more rotation from Pochettino over the hectic festive period as Tottenham’s trip to Everton on Sunday is their first of five games in 13 days.
“Now it’s the toughest period and more than ever we’re going to use the squad,” the Spurs boss explained.
“I feel so sorry for people who don’t like rotation!”
