Tottenham Hotspur are just two points away from the top of the Premier League table.
Pochettino has been credited for making great strides during his time at the helm at Spurs, but their failure to add to their trophy cabinet has often been used as a criticism.
Tottenham have not lifted major silverware since 2008, but Pochettino insists that it is still not a requirement for his side.
“I think people always expect that when you have a good season and expect the next season to be better, and the season after better and better,” he said. “But I think the problem is that we have improved a lot in the last year.
“To take us to the next step we have to finish the training ground and the stadium.
“And people talk too much about Tottenham. Tottenham must win titles to improve but that’s not true.”
Spurs have made a start to the season which has raised some concerns, but they still are right among the leading contenders in the Premier League.
Spurs won against Cardiff City at the weekend, and although their performance was not exactly breathtaking, they got the job done.
Tottenham are now in fifth place in the Premier League table, just two points behind Manchester City in first.
Pochettino’s side are next in action in two weekends’ time, when they take on West Ham United at the London Stadium.
