Ambitious Pochettino targets title for Spurs

Pochettino left Premier League rivals Southampton to take over at White Hart Lane on a five-year deal in May after Tim Sherwood was relieved of his duties.

The Argentinian knows his short-term aim must be to get his players to buy into his style of play, but then his target is to lead Tottenham to the top-flight title for the first time since the 1960-61 campaign.

He told The Sun: "All managers want the best and want to be the best, I knew from the first day I came here that Spurs are a big club.

"My challenge is to win the Premier League, eventually. This is our goal, to win the title one day.

"Our target at the moment is to provide a team capable of creating our philosophy on the pitch. To develop and improve the style of football we want to play."
