The former Tottenham Hotspur coach, Argentine Mauricio Pochettino, expressed his willingness to enjoy another opportunity to manage a team in the Premier League.
Mauricio Pochettino, who was sacked by Tottenham Hotspur last November, said he was ready and liked to return to the Premier League.
Pochettino, who coached the White Hart Lane in May 2014 after leaving Southampton, led Tottenham to the Champions League final last season, and he also helped him remain in the top four in the Premier League in recent seasons.
However, after a series of contradictory results that prompted the team to move away from the competition for the first four places in the Premier League, the London club management expelled the Argentine coach, to be quickly replaced by Jose Mourinho.
It is noteworthy that before leaving Tottenham Hotspur, the Argentine coach, aged 47, was linked with Manchester United as well as Real Madrid, but he has not joined the training of any team in Europe so far.
In an interview with Sky Sport, Pochettino revealed that training another team in the Premier League would be tempting, but if the opportunity came, it would be appropriate.
Pochettino added: “I love working in the Premier League … and I know that it will be difficult to achieve that. But now this is the moment of waiting and we’ll see what happens. It is a moment of recovery, thinking a little about yourself, and being prepared because in football something can happen and you have to be prepared for that. ”
The Argentine coach said: “I am ready and waiting for a new challenge. I have faith and confidence that the next challenge will be great,” adding that all that there is now are just “rumors,” according to the British Guardian newspaper.
Although he finished his job at Tottenham, he is still “very proud” of everything he achieved in the London team after the manager was “in an important moment for the club” before developing the stadium.
“Everything I had to do was very scary at those moments … destroying White Hart Lane and building a new stadium, playing at Wembley and Milton Keynes, only footballers know how difficult it is to deal with these situations,” he said.
He added: “It was very difficult to implement a new philosophy and new ideas, but I feel very proud of the success we have achieved and taken Tottenham to a different level. Playing in the Champions League for 3 or 4 years and outperforming Arsenal several times was a great legacy for us.”
“Winning the title would have been a big bonus, but for us, this is the legacy, that we have the club and the stadium in Tottenham. This is more than just winning trophies,” he concluded.
