Pochettino said:Â “My first meeting with Daniel Levy was in his house. He was without shoes, he was in his pyjamas. It was in the afternoon.
“We were talking my feeling about the Spurs squad. They showed me there were more than 30/35 players. I said it’s nearly an NFL team. How are you going to manage that?
“We were talking about our ideas and how we could share those ideas.
