Daniel Levy wants Mauricio Pochettino to resist the allure of European giants such as Real Madrid and devote the next 15 years of his career to Tottenham.

Pochettino has turned Spurs into a Premier League force during his three-and-a-half- year tenure, and ahead of their Champions League clash against Real, chairman Levy has said that Pochettino would find it more fulfilling to stay at Tottenham.

'I would love nothing more than Mauricio still to be our manager in 10 to 15 years' time,' said Tottenham chairman Levy, in a new book Brave New World by Guillem Balague, which is being serialised by Sportsmail.

'To really build success you need time, longevity. It's easy to go and become a manager at Real Madrid, for instance.

'It's a fantastic club, don't get me wrong, but winning at Tottenham Hotspur is far greater than winning at Real Madrid — and he agrees.

'Mauricio wants this sense of achievement, this recognition, to be the main guy. And at this club, he can be the main guy.

'At some other clubs, the president is the main guy but that's not how it is here. I'm so low key, I want him to be the main guy.

'Him. Sometimes it's nice to be given something when you are not expecting it, like the Bentley I gave him as a sign of appreciation.'
