Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has told French publication Le Figaro that coach Mauricio Pochettino is the best in the world, indicating that he will stay as long as he remains in charge. Lloris, 30, has been linked with a move away from London, with Real Madrid and Manchester United said to be among those interested. But the France captain has signed two long-term contracts since Pochettino arrived in summer 2014 and said: "My future is linked to Mauricio's, that is certain. "I feel very good here, but in football everything is fragile and things can change very quickly." Both Pochettino and Lloris have been linked with French champions Paris Saint-Germain, and the goalkeeper said: "It is difficult to predict. "He [Pochettino] is very important to me. Our relationship extends beyond football. It is a partnership. One day, he will be the best coach in the world. In my eyes, he is already. "His presence and our relationship are the two most important things to me." Lloris, however, refused to rule out an exit at some point and confirmed that he had been approached by other clubs. "There are some things in life you cannot refuse. Apart from those, I will not say I lack ambition," he said. "There are teams who keep making their interest known. These are giant clubs in terms of their history, their legends. "In 10 or 15 years, these clubs will still be winning things -- although that is not the case for all of them." Tottenham last won a trophy in 2008 but are second in the Premier League and face leaders Chelsea in next month's FA Cup semifinal. "Tottenham are not a club accustomed to winning things all the time, but we are trying to create something here," Lloris added. "It is not easy coming up against European giants, but it is a great source of motivation."
