David Beckham paid a visit to Tottenham's training ground on Wednesday and later described Mauricio Pochettino as a "gentleman".
Beckham watched as Spurs stepped up their preparations for the Champions League final against Liverpool in Madrid on June 1.
Afterwards, he took to Instagram to share a picture of himself with the Tottenham boss.
"Great to spend the morning with Mauricio today," he wrote.
"Thank you for welcoming me and showing me around the amazing training complex…What a gentleman @spurs official."
Beckham's presence also appeared to inspire the players with Harry Kane later tweeting: "Great to spend some time with David Beckham today. A real legend of the game!"
