Only Leaving Tottenham for a moment, Pochettino Already Interested in Barcelona

DBasia.news –  Mauricio Pochettino is rated as a potential coach by Barcelona. Not even long after being fired from Tottenham Hostpur, Pochettino was reportedly in demand by Barcelona.

Barcelona’s patience for Ernesto Valverde has reportedly reached its end. Although still leading the LaLiga standings, the Los Cules officials are unsatisfied with the game of Lionel Messi and his colleagues.

In the Valverde era, Barcelona was considered to no longer displaying tiki-taka tactics. In addition, the three defeats at LaLiga also became a red note.

Inevitably, Barcelona has began looking for a replacement for Valverde. Based on news reported by British media, the Blaugrana’s choice fell to Mauricio Pochettino.

Barcelona considers Mauricio Pochettino to be one of the young coaches who has a slick vision and tactics. The Argentine coach proved it by bringing the Lilywhites through the 2018-2019 Champions League final. Unfortunately, Harry Kane and colleagues were unable to beat Liverpool.

Pochettino’s experience in training Espanyol is also a plus. That way, the coach no longer needs a long time to adapt to the culture of Spanish football.

However, Barcelona is not alone in the hunt for Pochettino. Reportedly, Bayern Munich also has interest to the coach. Pochettino was prepared to replace the Niko Kovac who was fired.

Barcelona is predicted to dismiss Valverde if he fails to win the Champions League this season. At that time, the opportunity for Pochettino to coach Lionel Messi and his colleagues will increase.
