Mauricio Pochettino yearns for a big challenge and could choose between two of the toughest, with the former Spurs boss sought out by both Manchester giants.
The Argentine is locked up and loaded for his return to the Premier League, revealing that his ‘tank is completely full’ as he searches for his next job.
Pochettino was fired by Spurs almost a year ago and has taken time to recharge amid constant likes for Barcelona, Madrid and Manchester.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are off to a terrible start to the 2020-21 season and Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has yet to sign a new contract at the Etihad. The Catalan’s contract expires in just seven months.
Both clubs are now forced to consider alternative options and believe Pochettino would be an ideal replacement, according to the Sun.
Pochettino never won the silver medal, but he oversaw an incredible transformation at Spurs, going from outsider status to becoming a serious threat on a tight budget, guiding North Londoners to the Champions League final.
That’s a stage United haven’t been close to since Sir Alex Ferguson left, and a return to the top still seems a long way off.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is again under pressure after failing to transfer his post-restart form in 2019-20 to the new season, being beaten 6-1 by the Spurs in his last game.
Meanwhile, City have also stuttered early this season, embarrassed 5-2 by Leicester and drawn 1-1 by newly promoted Leeds.
The failure of the Citizens’ Champions League last season, crashing against Lyon in the Champions League final, also left Guardiola’s main goal of becoming European champion unfulfilled.
Those failures could be behind Guardiola’s unwillingness to commit to the club, and Pochettino will be one of the favorites to succeed him.
