Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has recalled his first meeting with chairman Daniel Levy was with him in pyjamas!

Levy welcomed Pochettino to his sprawling Totteridge home and convinced him to take the Tottenham job.

Tonight, when Spurs face Ajax in the Champions League semi-final at their new stadium, it will be the fulfilment of a shared vision.

Poch revealed: “My first meeting with Daniel was in his house. He was without shoes, dressed in pyjamas.

“But it was the afternoon, it was not the night. It's the truth.

“First we talked about the squad because there were more than 30 players.

“It was 34 or 35 players. I said 'oh, it's an NFL team.'"
