One Premier League club could be interested in hiring Mauricio Pochettino if he leaves Chelsea at the end of the season.
Mauricio Pochettino‘s future at Chelsea looks to be in doubt right now.
According to The Telegraph, the club will have an end-of-season review that will determine the Argentine’s fate.
Pochettino has done a good job of late, taking Chelsea up into seventh. Europa League football is now a real possibility.
However, the 52-year-old was tasked with qualifying for the Champions League going into this season. If Pochettino does depart Stamford Bridge, one club he is unlikely to join is AC Milan. It has been claimed that his wages would be a problem for the Serie A outfit.
Chelsea’s Premier League rivals like Mauricio Pochettino
Should Chelsea sack Pochettino, it may not take the former Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham Hotspur manager long to get a new job.
According to journalist Simon Phillips, Pochettino has admirers in the Premier League.
Speaking about the Blues boss on his Substack, he said: “I’ve heard Man Utd are keen.”
Current United manager Erik ten Hag could find himself in trouble at the end of the season, too. Like Chelsea, the Red Devils have also failed to qualify for the Champions League, while INEOS, who are now in control of football operations at Old Trafford, were obviously not the ones who brought the Dutchman to the club. Simply put, he is not their man.
Why are Manchester United keen on Mauricio Pochettino?
INEOS have spoken to Pochettino in the past about a vacancy at Nice, claims journalist David Ornstein, so there may already be a relationship there.
Pochettino, of course, obviously has a lot of Premier League experience from his spells at Chelsea, Tottenham and Southampton.
The fact that his Chelsea side are above United now would suggest that he could be an upgrade on Ten Hag, so it is not a shock to hear that the Red Devils have an interest in him.
