Mauricio Pochettino Isn’t Interested in Coach Real Madrid

DBasia.news – Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino is still becoming one of the candidates favored by the directors to coach Real Madrid, replacing Julen Lopetegui, despite Santiago Solari’s status as the interim coach.

Indeed, there is still a chance for Solari to be the permanent coach if he could ensure Madrid high-officials with a great performance by Sergio Ramos and friends. However, there is no certainty that Solari could do it well.

Pochettino is the candidate, just like Roberto Martinez, Joachim Low, and Antonio Conte. But among them, Pochettino is the most favored one because he already understands about Spanish football, and once coached Espanyol. Plus, the 24-year-old manager developed Tottenham to be the top teams in Premier League.

Responding to that rumor, Pochettino has a classy answer and emphasizing his close bonding with Tottenham players.

“It is like you are with your girlfriend or wife and you are holding hands, walking down Oxford Street. But because you are so handsome, another woman is looking at you,” Pochettino said reported by AS on Saturday (3/11).

“But your wife is so proud and, rather than worrying, she is so happy to be with you and falls more in love with you. No one looks at you, your wife says ‘maybe he is better’, understand the metaphor?” he continued.

“Yes, the players are confident in me. But it is not that they attach to me only. If I believe that Dele is only going to sign a new contract because of me it’s a bad feeling,” Pochettino concluded. It means: Pochettino enjoys his time in Tottenham.
