The Tottenham Hotspur boss is widely regarded as one of the best in the business.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino spoke to reporters today, ahead of his side’s clash with Burnley at the weekend, and responded when asked whether he is bored of hearing stories linking him with Manchester United and Real Madrid, as quoted by Football.London.
Pochettino has worked wonders at Spurs, since taking over as manager of the club back in the summer of 2014, and the north London outfit are now widely regarded as genuine challengers for major honours both domestically and on the continent.
The Lilywhites currently sit in third position in the Premier League table, and are safely though to the knock-out stages of the Champions League.
The problem for Tottenham, however, is that Pochettino’s fine work has obviously not gone unnoticed.
Real Madrid and Manchester United are both keen on hiring the Argentine as their manager, according to the Express, and Spurs will have to fight very hard to keep the 46-year-old.
The Tottenham boss spoke to reporters today, and admitted that he will never get bored of hearing his name linked with major jobs, as quoted by Football.London:
“No, no. Why? This type of news I think does not upset or bore people. I prefer that newspapers talk about things like this than talk about ‘Tottenham is going to sack me’ or ‘people are tired of me’ or ‘we are in a difficult situation’. Of course, if I choose one situation I choose this one. I am not bored of it, of course.”
There is obviously still a long way to go this season, but if Tottenham do win a major trophy, especially the league or the Champions League, the north London outfit might just find it incredibly hard to keep hold of Poch.
The Argentine does seem to be incredibly loyal, though, and with Spurs’ move to their new stadium on the horizon, it would be no surprise to see him hang around for the foreseeable future.
