The Argentine saw his job role change from head coach to manager in 2016 upon the signing of a new contract but has now claimed this is not the case.
When asked about transfers by a Spanish reporter in his press conference after Spurs’ 1-0 pre-season victory over Real Madrid, the cagey boss replied: “I need to repeat in the past few press conferences what I told your colleagues in England. I am not in charge and I know nothing about the situation of my players.
“I am only coaching them and trying to get the best from them. This type of thing will happen or not happen. Sell, buy players, sign contract, not sign contract – I think is not in my hands, it’s in the club’s hands and Daniel Levy.
“At the moment I am managing the team the best way possible.”
And asked if this means he is no longer a manager, he continued: “The club need to change my title and description, no? My job now is to coach the team. It’s not a question for me, it’s a question for the club and maybe they change my title and description.
“I told you before I am not in charge about the individual situations. Of course I am the boss deciding the strategic play, training, methodology and philosophy are my areas, but in another area I don’t know.
“Today, I feel like I am the coach.”
When queried over his job title, he then added: “I cannot answer, it’s not me. I am only the person that is on the touchline managing the team. The question is not for me and I do not have answer. I tell you what is my responsibility.”
