Inter Milan are looking for a new manager, and they’re going for one of the world’s best. There’s no shortage of optimism and Antonio Conte and Diego Simeone are the two most desired.
After that there’s a list of other maybes, and several names down that list is Mauricio Pochettino.
That’s the same Mauricio Pochettino who has worked wonders with Tottenham on a budget and who is currently wrapped in optimism about the future. The same Mauricio Pochettino who is set to take his Tottenham side into a new stadium as the club build a future which is largely shaped by him.
Inter are currently 8th in Serie A, 24 points off the lead, the club isn’t a stranger to big hopes for improving fortunes being dashed, and star player Mauro Icardi always seems a few months away from his next annoying drama.
To tempt Conte or Simeone, Gazzetta say Inter would be prepared to offer a €50m contract over a five year period. Even if that’s true, and even if they’d offer the same to Pochettino, it’s hardly likely to tempt the Tottenham manager too much.
