It’s not even a day since Real Madrid parted ways with Julen Lopetegui, and reports linking Mauricio Pochettino to the European champions have resurfaced, either immediately or for next summer.
As things stand, it is unlikely the north London club would part ways with the former Southampton manager during the campaign, but there could be a possibility of the 46-year-old returning to Spain after the end of the season.
In Italy, Calciomercato.it takes a look at the situation and they claim that Florentino Pérez has identified Spurs’ boss as the number one candidate for the managerial job at Real Madrid.
If you’re wondering how a publication in Italy knows about the Argentine manager of the English club being a priority target for the club in Spain, then there is an explanation in the same report.
If Tottenham fail to retain Pochettino, their ‘dream’ is to then appoint Massimo Allegri and the current Juventus manager has never hidden his desire to manage in the Premier League.
For what he has achieved with the Turin club, Calciomercato.it do not view Tottenham as the ‘important club’ required to tempt the manager, as they claim the Italian could manage other big clubs in London.
