Mauricio Pochettino has played down his surprising outburst over transfers and promised to continue working with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy in the final week of the summer window.

Just 24 hours earlier, Pochettino claimed he no longer had a say on transfers and suggested the club changes his job title from manager, hinting at a frustration with their summer business.

The club's hierarchy were said to be taken aback by the Argentine's comments and have no plans to alter his title, which was changed from head coach in May 2016.

Spurs beat hosts Bayern Munich 6-5 on penalties to win the Audi Cup on Wednesday and afterwards Pochettino changed his tune, insisting he was happy and focused on working with Levy.

Asked if he was the manager or coach, Pochettino laughed and said: "We need to be relaxed and calm. I am so happy. I hope we have a very good season. The most important thing now is to show respect for the club. We are trying to bring the best team possible. We are going to work hard to make our fans happy and be competitive.

"It’s a challenge at a club like Tottenham but we are going to work together. After five years we have built a very good relationship with Daniel Levy."

Spurs have bought two players this summer in club-record signing Tanguy Ndombele and Jack Clarke, who immediately returned to Leeds on loan, and they remain locked in talks for Fulham's Ryan Sessegnon and Real Betis playmaker Giovani Lo Celso.

In an interview with German TV, Pochettino added: "Of course sometimes he [Levy], me, the fans and players are frustrated, but the best thing is to be honest, genuine and spontaneous. Maybe I described the situation but we are so focused to work together to be professional and try to create and build a team to have the possibility to fight for big things."

Pochettino was this morning facing an anxious wait to discover the extent of Juan Foyth's injury after the young defender was stretchered off in the latter stages of the 2-2 draw at the Allianz Arena.

The 21-year-old, who has been earmarked as a potential replacement for Kieran Trippier at right-back, will be assessed today after going down clutching his ankle. "I will have to see the doctor but as Foyth left the pitch he said ‘Gaffer I have tweaked my ankle’," said Pochettino afterwards. "We will have to see how bad it is."

Tottenham, who led 2-0 thanks to goals from Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen before being pegged back to 2-2 late on, went on to win the match on penalties, with Paulo Gazzaniga saving from David Alaba and Jerome Boateng.

“Always it is better to win a tournament than to lose it – whatever the circumstances,” Pochettino said. “I am very pleased with my players. We will take a lot of positives from this tournament."

Having beaten Real in the semi-final thanks to Harry Kane's strike on Tuesday, an experimental Spurs side were cruising against Bayern before goals from teenagers Jann-Fiete Arp and Alphonso Davies took the game to spot-kicks.

“It has not been easy for us after losing the Champions League Final," Pochettino added. "When something like that happens it’s hard to get on your feet. But we are all sportsmen and we all like to compete so it’s up to us to find the motivation. I’m very happy."
