Former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino says a job in the Premier League or LaLiga will be his priority when he gets back to work.

Pochettino is enjoying his first break from football in seven years following his sacking by Spurs, being shown the door less than six months after guiding the club to a first ever Champions League final.

Manchester United have long been admirers, while Barcelona considered him before appointing Quique Setien and Arsenal looked into an audacious move before Mikel Arteta arrival.

Pochettino sees his next job amongst that company in "England and Spain".

"I was so lucky to start my career as a manager with Espanyol in Barcelona, and then to come here to the Premier League to England, to learn English and different cultures," he said at Wednesday evening's LaLiga TV launch event.

"Football was born here in England but La Liga has amazing football and amazing coaches. Today, it's a reference of players, a reference of coaches and the football in the last 20 years that's shown around the world.

"Like a coach, with Gustavo [Poyet, also at the event], we always try to be in the best place.

"I think England and Spain are the two best leagues in the world."
