Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino is open to another stint in La Liga.
Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has admitted his ambition to return to Spain as manager at some point in the future.
Pochettino has been a roaring success at Tottenham since taking the reins in North London back in 2014.
The Argentine has established Spurs as Champions League regulars and some of Europe’s finest players – Harry Kane and Dele Alli – have come to prominence under his management.
But with success comes negative attention from a Tottenham perspective, and speculation about a move to Real Madrid is never far away.
The former Espanyol manager, who moved to England in 2013 to take the Southampton job, has told RTVE that he would be open to returning to La Liga in the future.
“Would I go back to Spanish football? Of course, yes, one is always open to new projects,” he said.
This will worry quite a few Tottenham fans, especially with Santiago Solari’s position as Real Madrid coach quite precarious at the moment.
Solari is flirting with dismissal after the Spanish giants were eliminated from the Champions League last week, with the Blancos also third in the Primera Division and 12 points behind Barcelona.
Things aren’t good at the Bernabeu and it’s very likely that they will need a new manager this summer. And considering Pochettino’s recent comments, you wonder whether they’ll be contacting Tottenham chief Daniel Levy about the former Argentina international.
