According to the Daily Mail and one cannot but think numerous others to follow suit in the next few days, former Spurs gaffer Mauricio Pochettino now looks to be in pole position for the hot seat at one of Europe’s elite sides.
Every time Mourinho wins a game, but fails to deliver great ‘entertainment value” with it, there’s a section of Pochettino admirers in the fanbase that would still bring the Argentine back, despite the sorry way it all ended for the Magic You Know One.
The comments from these fans reacting to the potential appointment of the 46-year-old are perhaps evidence enough that the jury on Spurs’ last boss is still very much out.
Pochettino doesn’t need my advice or anyone else’s, but it might benefit him if he were to refocus his efforts upon winning a trophy or two at his next club, whomever that might be. My knowledge of Italian football is cursory, but I cannot see any Serie A side giving a coach 5 years or more to fine tune ‘a philosophy’.
For those struggling with that brutish assertion, I’d respectfully suggest a quick glance at the current league table.
