Mauricio Pochettino lost his job in November 2019, when he was fired as Tottenham Hotspur manager for going down to the 14th place in the Premier League. Portuguese legend Jose Mourinho was brought in as his replacement. However, since then, he has been linked to many clubs, including Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Barcelona or Real Madrid?

There were rumours that Pochettino was considered to take over as Barcelona manager after the firing of Quique Setien. However, Pochettino has revealed to Marca that there was never an offer or even talks held about the position, “They didn’t offer me to coach Barca. I didn’t see myself with [president Josep Maria] Bartomeu. I did eat with Ramon Planes because we have a friendship for many years, since 2009 when he signed for Espanyol.”

Pochettino had initially rejected even the prospect of joining Barcelona due to his former ties with Espanyol, “I was ironic then. It was my first news conference at Tottenham and they asked me about the Barca rumours. Then I answered with my irony and I think I went too far, I said what I said.”

However, coaching Real Madrid has always been a dream of his with the club coming close to acquiring his services in 2018 as Zidane’s successor, but he decided to honour his contract with Spurs, “I don’t know if I’ll ever coach Madrid, but of course it’s my dream. If it’s not the best it’s one of the best clubs in the world. I’m no different, everyone has it on their dream list.”

Seeing how talented and impactful he is, we believe Pochettino won’t have to wait a long time before acquiring another job, especially as manager of Real Madrid.
