Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has suggested it would be "impossible" to ever manage Barcelona.
The 45-year-old ex-Espanyol boss met Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu last week as speculation increased that he might be in contention to take over from the departing Luis Enrique.
"I'm an Espanyol supporter - I think then I don't need to speak too much," the Argentine said, highlighting the rivalry with city neighbours Barcelona.
He also played 216 games for Espanyol.
Regarding the speculation, Pochettino told Thursday's news conference: "It is like one day if [Spurs chairman] Daniel Levy sacks me in a few years, it would be impossible to manage Arsenal.
