The Tottenham chairman, renowned in the game for his stern business acumen, gave a warming speech at the club's training ground earlier this week.

Tottenham's run to the Champions League final has made Daniel Levy more emotional, according to Mauricio Pochettino.

The Spurs chairman is renowned in the game for his stern business acumen, fierce negotiating skills and dispassionate personal skills.

But seeing his club get to uncharted territory this season under Pochettino has allowed Levy to shed his frosty exterior.

"It's not that he's going to give us more money now – this area is not going to change, he's going to be strong – but of course in the personal relationships he's improving a lot from when we arrived here."

Pochettino was also emotional this week after his assistant Jesus Perez surprised him by arranging a visit to the training ground from his hero Mario Kempes.

"It was an unbelievable thing," the Argentinian said. "Jesus arranged the surprise, because Mario Kempes was my idol.

"To see him at the training ground was an amazing surprise. Beautiful. Wonderful.

"To have the possibility to meet for the first time Mario Kempes, who I watched win the World Cup when I was six years old in 1978, was another dream.

"I'm living another dream because to meet him was amazing. We were talking about his life now, in the USA, and the possibilities that football gives you to meet people, to know people and know different cultures, to travel.

"I was very surprised. It was Mario Kempes in front of me!"
