Manchester United reportedly contacted Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino as a possible replacement for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the head of the club’s technical team, according to the Daily Mail. The Red Devils were humiliated at home against Pochettino’s former club , Tottenham, now coached by José Mourinho and the final 1-6 left a mark on the pride of the players, the technical team and the coaches.
Pochettino has been without a club since he was fired by Spurs 11 months ago and is looking forward to a new and challenging opportunity to coach. According to the English daily “Daily Star”, important elements of the Old Trafford structure contacted the representatives of Pochettino to ask if they would be interested in the place that until now has belonged to Solskjaer.
The news says some members of the United hierarchy want results to improve quickly, while CEO Ed Woodward is reluctant to fire the Norwegian. That is, the contacts with Pochettino are only preventive in case they have to change coach. That and a good demotivating factor for Solskjaer.
Pochettino picked up the Spurs in 2014 and led them to the Champions League final five years later. Two months after that game, which Tottenham lost to Liverpool, the Argentine was fired and replaced by the Portuguese José Mourinho.
