Pochettino: Taking over at Madrid is the peak of your career but I'm happy at Tottenham Transfer Market Not looking to leave London

Although Mauricio Pochettino has labelled it the highlight of any coach's career to take over at Real Madrid, he has also insisted that he is happy at Tottenham Hotspur.

The Argentine was one of the leading candidates to replace Zinedine Zidane after he departed the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, and he has responded to that speculation.

"There has been a lot of talk in recent days and I've already said everything I need to so I'm not going to add anything," he told La Oral Deportivo of Radio Rivadavia.

"It is clear that Real Madrid may be the best club in the world and for an Argentine player or coach, it represents reaching the top of your career.

"But I am happy at Tottenham, whatever happens.

"I just try to be ready for situations when they happen and try to take advantage of opportunities."
