Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has ruled himself out of the running for the Barcelona job.
The 45-year-old played for Barcelona's Catalan rivals Espanyol - first between 1994 and 2000, and then between 2004 and 2006 - before becoming the club's head coach between 2009 and 2012, and he believes that the loyalty shown is more important than any career ambitions.
"I am a fan of Espanyol and love the club," the Argentine explained.
"I don't need to speak too much more about it.
"It's like if one day Daniel Levy sacked me, in a few years, for me it would be impossible to manage Arsenal.
"It is so difficult to keep the values, to be loyal, with your heart, with your emotion.
"But for me, before being a coach, before being a player, being loyal is more important.
"It's the same with Tottenham now for me."
