The Tottenham Hotspur boss is heavily linked with a move to Italy.
Tottenham Hotspur fans are on tender hooks at the moment, for two reasons.
Firstly, the biggest game in their history is on the horizon as Mauricio Pochettino’s side gear up for a Champions League final with Liverpool in Madrid on June 1.
And secondly, speculation about Pochettino quitting Spurs is gathering momentum.
The much-loved Argentine is favourite to take over from Massimiliano Allegri at Juventus this summer [The Express].
And comments from one of Pochettino’s family members is likely to add fuel to the flames in that regard.
According to Daniele Pochettino, the Tottenham manager’s cousin, the 47-year-old may be tempted by the prospect of going to Turin this summer.
He told Tutto Juve on Monday: “In my opinion [Pochettino replacing Allegri] could be feasible, because Mauricio is a coach who has shown he knows how to work well and reaching the final with Tottenham is a clear example.
“The Bianconeri’s goal is, of course, the Champions League and my cousin has all the useful qualities to be able to coach this club.
“Everyone in the family would like to see him at Juventus.”
Win or lose in Madrid, there is a growing fear among fans of the North London club that he could walk.
Either way, this season is going to be very difficult to top next time around and whatever happens, Spurs supporters will forever be grateful to Pochettino for taking their club to the next level entirely.
