Mauricio Pochettino has reiterated his desire to remain at Tottenham Hotspur for the long term by jokingly admitting that he is "in love" with chairman Daniel Levy.
The 45-year-old is responsible for turning the Lilywhites into serious title challengers since being appointed in 2014, guiding the club to third and second-place finishes in the past two years.
Spurs chief Levy has stated in the past that he wants the Argentine coach, linked with a number of managerial positions of late, to still be in North London in "10 or 15 years' time".
Pochettino seems happy to oblige, telling reporters: "It's true that sometimes I don't want to be so kind with Daniel because Daniel knows more than me that sometimes we have differences, but I am in love with him.
"Because he is the type of person who gave me one day, three and a half years ago, the possibility to be here. To be able to write some history for this amazing club, to start to discover a different style of club, a different kind of project.
"To be here to me is more than a pleasure. I am so happy and my family and that is why I am so proud."
Pochettino's side return to action next Saturday with a trip to face North London rivals Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
