Mauricio Pochettino: 'Sir Alex Ferguson meeting a dream come true'

By , Football League Editor
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino describes meeting Sir Alex Ferguson this week as like a "dream come true".

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has described his meeting with former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson as a "dream come true".

The two met at a London restaurant on Tuesday and it sparked rumours that Pochettino taking over at Old Trafford could be on the cards.

However, the Argentine has now officially signed a new long-term deal at White Hart Lane and told reporters that they did not discuss him leaving Spurs.

"It was fantastic, a dream come true," Pochettino said. "When I started my career as a manager, he was always my inspiration, my reference.

"He is a person we can all learn from. He has a fantastic history in football and in life."

Pochettino has previously said that Ferguson's legacy at Old Trafford is something that he wants to emulate with Spurs.
