Mauricio Pochettino responds to speculation he will replace Zinedine Zidane

Mauricio Pochettino insists he is happy at Tottenham and has no intention to replace Zidane amid speculations linking him to Real Madrid head coach’s job. The France international stood down after a trophy-laden spell at Bernabeu, leading Real to their consecutive Champions League triumph. Pochettino recently signed a new five-year deal with the north London club and despite that fact he is still linked with Real manager's job. ‘When Real Madrid call you, you have to listen to them. Although in this case it doesn’t depend on me. I have just signed a long contract with Tottenham and I am very happy here. ‘I am happy at Tottenham because they let me work and we are growing together. Right now I want to focus on planning for next season and keep out of all the things that are being said. ‘There will be lots of rumours, lots of things said, but I have no news from Real Madrid. ‘I’m working very comfortably at Tottenham and it’s my obligation to focus on that. I do not want, nor can I, comment on Zidane going but what he has done is undoubtedly very big: no one has won three Champions Leagues in a row recently,’Pochettino said.
