The Tottenham Hotspur manager is hoping the new stadium will be ready soon.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino addressed the media last night after his side’s 1-1 draw against Barcelona, and delivered his biggest hint yet that Spurs will be playing in their new stadium in time for the next stage of the Champions League, as quoted by Football.London.
The Lilywhites made it through to the knock-out stage of Europe’s premier competition after earning a valuable point at the Camp Nou.
Pochettino’s side have made their best ever start to a Premier League campaign, and now that they are in the last 16 of the Champions League, Tottenham fans must be delighted with their side’s start to the season.
The icing on the cake, however, will be moving into their new stadium.
According to the Times, Spurs are set to move into their new home in February, and Pochettino seemed to corroborate that, when speaking to reporters last night, as quoted by Football.London:
“It’s a massive achievement for the club, hoping we are going to move into the new stadium next year. To have the possibility to play Champions League football in the new stadium will be massive for everyone in the club.”
The next stage of the Champions League will be played between 12th-20th February, so Pochettino is obviously hoping that Tottenham’s new home will be ready in the next two moths.
Until then, however, Spurs will have to focus on domestic competition, and they will be desperate to head into their new home still in contention for the Premier League title.
