Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino admits he and Everton's Roberto Martinez are good friends.
Pochettino's relationship with Martinez began 22 years ago when he arrived in Spain from Argentina.
He said: "We didn't play together or against each other but we know each other because we are football people and he is Catalan. He was always in Barcelona on holiday.
"He's a very good friend and a great manager.
"I admire him a lot. I am looking forward to the challenge and also to seeing him."
