Former PSG manager reveals he turned down an offer from rivals OGC Nice

PSG star Mauricio Pochettino

Former PSG and Tottenham Hotspurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has turned down the managerial job offer he received from the French team OGC Nice. Despite the club’s statement, many sources have updated that Mauricio Pochettino was approached by OGC Nice in the last few days and he decided to turn down the proposal.

The Argentinian man Pochettino has been jobless since leaving Paris Saint Germain at the end of last season. Despite having some of the world’s best players in his squad he failed to make better results. The Parisians fans were really frustrated as they criticize his playing style and player-managing abilities.

Mauricio Pochettino began his managerial career at Spanish club Espanyol in 2009. In 2012, he left the club and in the next year, he was appointed at Premier League club Southampton. He joined Tottenham Hotspurs in 2014 and was a great success there. He led them to a runner-up finish in the 2016-17 EPL season and he also made them into the UEFA Champions League final in 2019 where they eventually lost to Liverpool.

He spent 7 years as boss at English clubs before leaving for French team PSG. His teams had won 132 matches out of the 256 matches. He had won the manager of the month award four times – October 2013, September 2015, February 2016, and April 2017. He has been quick to attract fans’ attention all over the world with his team’s versatile and stylish match displays.
