Former Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino wants to take charge of Real Madrid and not Leeds United, according to The Daily Star.
Mauricio Pochettino fancies Real Madrid, not Leeds United
The report published this morning has claimed that Leeds chairman Andrea Radrizzani does not want Pochettino at Elland Road.
The 50-year-old Argentine is without a managerial role at the moment following his departure from Paris Saint-Germain at the end of last season.
Pochettino was excellent in his managerial roles at Southampton and Tottenham in the Premier League.
The Argentine won the Ligue 1 title with PSG last season.
The Daily Star have claimed that Leeds chairman Pochettino will not sanction a move for the 50-year-old now.
The report has added that the former Espanyol manager himself ‘would prefer to hold out for the Real Madrid job in the hope it will become available’ and is not particularly keen on a move to Leeds, who are fighting for survival in the Premier League at the moment and could get relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.
Leeds are on the hunt for a new manager after they sacked Jesse Marsch yesterday.
Troubles at Real Madrid
Carlo Ancelotti is in charge of Madrid now, but Los Blancos are not having the best of times at the moment.
Madrid, who won La Liga and the UEFA Champions League last season, could end up losing the Spanish league title to bitter rivals Barcelona.
