The former Southampton and Espanyol manager insists he is happy at Tottenham and wants to stay there for a long time.

Pochettino has hinted he could spend the remainder of his career as Tottenham manager.

He went on to suggest he could look to replicate Wenger’s reign in north London, and see out the remainder of his managerial days with Spurs.

«I have a massive, huge respect for Arsene Wenger. Because when people talk of his 22-years in charge of a club like Arsenal and all that happens in that period,» said Pochettino.

«You need to be so good, not only a coach but the values you translate.

 «That is why it’s a little bit sad about the way he finishes in his club. For us it’s not a business it’s a passion. For all Arsene Wenger gave for Arsenal, to finish in the way it finished, it’s a little bit unfair.»

«I hope, or wish, to be here 20 years and decide to leave or to finish my career here. But I need to ask him, if one day I get the opportunity, if he is happy in the way he finishes. I don’t believe [he did].»
