It seems that Mauricio Pochettino is a man in demand despite already being employed by one of the richest clubs in the world with a roster of superstar players at his disposal.
Tottenham remains the clear favourites to be the Argentine’s next destination, however, Real Madrid is now in the running and according to Radio Marca, he is their number one target.
The above tweet is in Spanish but roughly translated it says “The number one candidate to coach Real Madrid is Pochettino if he can leave PSG”
I know very little about Radio Marca, they do have a blue tick on Twitter for what that is worth and I am assuming they are somehow related to Marca but I could easily be wrong on that.
If what they are tweeting is true then under normal circumstances it would be easy to accept that he will end up in Madrid as opposed to north London but we are not in normal circumstances.
For starters, Real face a lengthy Champions League ban, they are no longer the team they once were with an ageing squad and virtually bankrupt.
But of course, they are Real Madrid and not many managers turn them down. That said, you cannot ignore what is surrounding them at the moment.
The bottom line, however, is that if Poch does end up leaving PSG, it is no longer certain that he would be N17 bound.
Going to be an interesting week.
