US coach Pochettino was interviewed by Josep Pedror, host of six stations, and talked about his player career and coaching career and his connection with Real Madrid.
Pochettino said: "I had the opportunity (played for Real Madrid) but failed to do so. I also had several opportunities in my coaching career, but it was sometimes like this in the football world."
Josep Pedrorol asked Pochettino if it was Tottenham chairman Levi who caused him to fail to coach Real Madrid.
Pochettino said: "I don't know if I should tell this story... Zidane left office at that time, and there was indeed a possibility of signing with Real Madrid. Of course, other coaches also had opportunities. But I had already promised Levi that he would stay in office until the new stadium of Tottenham was completed. At that time, I made it clear that if Levi agreed, I would go to Real Madrid... I don't know what happened next... It's a high probability that he didn't let it go."
"I don't know what Florentino felt, but this was not my subjective wish. At that time, I was not free... but I was not afraid of late for a good meal."
