After turning Tottenham into a side capable of challenging at the very highest level, Mauricio Pochettino is a highly sought-after coach and he does not rule out a move to the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid have struggled slightly in recent weeks and it has called into question the continuity of Zinedine Zidane, with Mauricio Pochettino one of the many names linked with the job.

The Argentine coach said he is currently focusing on Spurs but admitted he may not be in north London forever. "Football will bring me to where football wants me to be," Pochettino told Onda Cero.

"Jorge Grifa [former Argentina international footballer] told me to focus on the present, to maintain your professionalism and let things happen, and he was like a second father to me."

"In football you always have to endure highs and lows whether you are managing in England or in Spain, so it is normal for me to go through this."
