Mauricio Pochettino has joked Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is "worried" about the reports linking him with other jobs.
The Argentine has been linked repeatedly with Real Madrid and Manchester United and his stock has increased yet further after he guided Spurs into the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Pochettino, brought to north London by Levy in 2014, said, tongue in cheek, that his boss was unsettled by the speculation, not that he felt the need to put his chairman's mind at ease.
"He [didn't] laugh," he said. "I don't get bored [about reading them] but he maybe is worried, he is concerned.
"But it's normal. It's not nice for Daniel to hear all that history.
