Mauricio Pochettino has reemerged on Real Madrid’s radar, claims Defensa Central, a Spanish news outlet. If Real Madrid go after the former Tottenham head coach, the third time might be the charm.
In the last decade, Mauricio Pochettino has been one of the best young managers in world football.
The 51-year-old made his debut at Espanyol before moving on to coach well-known clubs like Bordeaux, Paris Saint-Germain, and Espanyol. He rose to prominence at Tottenham, after a short stint with Southampton.
The Argentine tactician spent five years with Tottenham, guiding them to the UEFA Champions League final in 2019.
During Pochettino’s reign, the north London club also became regular in the Premier League top four.
However, after a disastrous start to the 2019/20 season, he left Tottenham and embarked on a hiatus.
Real Madrid first attempted to appoint Pochettino during his stint with Tottenham. Although, the north London club did not entertain any offers for the 51-year-old Argentine manager.
Meanwhile, his fourth managerial job was at his former club Paris Saint-Germain, where he won his first trophies.
The former Tottenham boss guided PSG to three trophies, including the 2021/22 Ligue 1 title. However, that was not enough to save his job, as he left PSG last summer.
Since then, several clubs have shown interest in Pochettino, including Chelsea. And now, Real Madrid will look to appoint him as the new manager again.
The report claims that Real Madrid again attempted to sign the experienced manager. But this time, he was at PSG, so a move failed to materialise.
However, with Pochettino yet to accept any offers, third time might be the charm for Real Madrid.
