According to Goal, Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino is wanted by Real Madrid to replace Zinedine Zidane.
The Frenchman has left Real, and they must now try to find a replacement in what is becoming something of a managerial merry-go-round.
It’s thought that president Florentino Perez is a big fan of Pochettino, and now wants to lure him to the Santiago Bernabeu this summer.
The report notes that Pochettino would welcome an offer for Real and wants to manage them, seeing the Spanish giants as a dream club.
Pochettino allegedly feels that he can’t miss this opportunity, and seemingly wants PSG to let him go in order to make the move to Spain.
If true, this comes as a shattering blow to Tottenham Hotspur, who are fighting to bring Pochettino back to North London according to The Athletic.
Spurs have started talks for the Argentinian, seemingly desperate to bring him back to the club despite sacking him in November 2019.
It seems that Pochettino isn’t entirely happy with PSG, and that bodes well for Tottenham’s hopes of luring him back.
Yet with Real now looking for a manager too, this quest for Pochettino’s return has just become even harder.
