Mauricio Pochettino has admitted that he hopes to stay at Tottenham for at least the next decade as the club move to a new stadium and target trophies.

The Argentine, who is preparing for Tuesday night's Champions League clash with Real Madrid, has caught the eye after leading Spurs into Europe and challenging for the Premier League title.

But Pochettino insists he is happy in north London and says Tottenham's progress, both on and off the field, can help them win silverware.

Asked about his future at the club, Pochettino said: 'It's up to the owner and the chairman.

'I am so happy. I enjoy my time in Tottenham a lot. It's a club with a lot of potential. 

'We are waiting for a new stadium, with new facilities, that I think will be the best in Europe. It's only a matter of time to develop to be a competitive team and try to win a trophy.'

Pochettino's current deal, which is believed to be worth around £5.5million a year, runs until the summer of 2021.

However, the former Southampton boss has revealed that he would be delighted to tie himself down to a more long-term contract.

'I am happy to hear that Daniel [Levy] is so kind to me, telling everyone what he expects from me,' he added.

'I hope to stay 10 or 15 years here. I would love to sign that contract.'
