Maurcio Pochettino has insisted that he is committed to taking Tottenham into the new stadium being built next to White Hart Lane and that he wants to stay at the club to make it a Champions League team which can win the Premier League one day.

The Tottenham manager, 45, is frequently linked with major clubs, has a home in Barcelona and had lunch with Sir Alex Ferguson shortly before Jose Mourinho was confirmed as the new manager at Manchester United.

But with Spurs making an emotional farewell to White Hart Lane, before playing at Wembley for a season while the new ground is completed, Pochettino insisted that he always made it clear to chairman Daniel Levy that he wanted the Tottenham job for the long-term and that it has never been a staging post for something bigger.

'When I signed here I understood the Tottenham project and Daniel Levy,' said Pochettino.

'We agreed and showed that we are not using Tottenham as a platform to sell ourselves. We showed from day one that we wanted to work in this project and we believed in this project.

'It is important to be honest with the person that signed you three years ago and invited you to a good project that you shared and agreed to. Now it is important to be loyal and try to work together to reach the next level.

'It is how we are. We are coaching staff that are people that enjoy working in this way. We love to help the club, try to reach the next level, develop young players and to build something special that doesn't exist in another club in the world.

'For us, it is unique. For the second consecutive season we are fighting for the title and competing with teams with completely different philosophies or ways. It is exciting for us and it is a unique project here in England. We are people that enjoy working in that way.'

Despite the disappointment of missing out on the title for the second year running, Pochettino insist Spurs will continue to challenge and will even take them training at Wembley next season in a bid to adjust to their new, temporary ground, which has been largely unsuccessful for them in Cup games and European fixtures in recent years.

'We have an idea to play some games and training too at Wembley,' he said. 'It's important for us to start training and to get a feel for Wembley, that will be fantastic for us.

'It's impossible now to decide which day we will start there but it is in our plan to start to train at our own training ground and then to try to move there for a few days to train.'
