Mauricio Pochettino News

Pochettino had been widely expected to take the Chelsea job, which is considered one of the most high-profile positions in European football

Zidane won 11 trophies as Real Madrid coach during his two spells Pochettino won his first trophy (Trophee des Champions) in 2021 with PSG

Parc des Princes is being reported as the most likely next destination for Messi and Pochettino has done little to play down the ongoing rumours.

Paris St Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino has tested positive for Covid-19 and will miss the weekend’s game against Angers as he goes into self-isolation.

Pochettino said that the Parisian club has always held a special place in his heart. Pochettino played for PSG as a defender in the early 2000s and also captained the side. He has been out of a job since being dismissed by Spurs in November 2019.

Last season`s runners-up squandered a two-goal advantage in their Group B opener in Athens and a furious Pochettino accused his players of "not respecting the plan".

Lo Celso, signed on loan by Spurs on transfer deadline day from Spanish side Real Betis, suffered a hip injury during Argentina`s 0-0 draw with Chile last week and the club confirmed on Tuesday that he would be sidelined until the end of October.

Pochettino further stated he is certain that other managers like Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp also must be getting calls from different clubs.

Spurs make the short visit to north London rivals Arsenal on Sunday looking for a reaction after last week`s shock 1-0 defeat at home by Newcastle United, which left them with four points from their opening three games.

Denmark international Eriksen has been an influential figure in Pochettino`s side that finished runners-up to Liverpool in the Champions League and were fourth in the Premier League last season.

Argentine Pochettino said his compatriot Giovani Lo Celso, who joined on loan from Real Betis in the close season, was a long way away from full match fitness.

The Premier League window for incoming transfers closed on August 8, a day before the season began.

England`s top-flight clubs can no longer sign new players after the deadline passed on Thursday but those in Italy, Spain, Germany and France can still strengthen their squads.

Spurs have reached the final of Europe`s premier club competition for the first time in the London club`s history and Vertonghen said it was due to Pochettino`s ability to get the best out of a rich mix of homegrown and foreign talent.

Pochettino has always had lofty ambitions for Spurs, ever since he took charge in 2014 and talked about the need to change the club`s mentality after repeatedly finishing outside the Premier League`s top four.

The Argentine earlier broke down in front of cameras when his team scored a last-minute goal to register a win against AFC Ajax to reach the finals of the Champions League.

In an interview with Spanish radio station Cadena Cope broadcast on Friday, Pochettino said Spurs would be using Real`s Valdebebas training ground for their preparations for the final against Liverpool in Madrid on June 1.

Kane sustained what appeared to be a season-ending ligament injury against Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The 47-year-old has even strongly hinted that next month`s final against Liverpool in Madrid could end his impressive five-season stay at Spurs in which he has established the club in the Premier League`s top four and himself as one of the world`s top coaches.

Tottenham`s Champions League campaign had looked all but over after they picked up one point from their first three group games.
