We are going to live in completely different era in football, admits Mauricio Pochettino

His replacement was Jose Mourinho with the former Chelsea and Manchester United boss doing relatively well with the players he had at his disposal before the lockdown. But in the time since he was let go by Tottenham, Pochettino has failed to find a project but not because of a lack of options. The Argentine has been heavily linked with a move to Italy, Germany and even Spain but still hasn’t decided on his next project.

However, the former Espanyol and Southampton boss admitted that he’s waiting to be “seduced by a project” rather than the country. So far, nothing has come across his table that Pochettino has liked although the Argentine admitted that he’s open to anything and would even be open to leaving England but only if needed. Yet, in a global pandemic, things have slowly changed in the football world and Pochettino confessed that he’s waiting to see exactly what will change.

“At the moment, my idea is to stay here, live in London – myself and my family. It’s going to be difficult [to take a job in another country] but not impossible. We are going to live a completely different era in football that we need to discover,” he says. “How are these clubs or companies, because that’s what they are, going to be after this virus hopefully disappears? It’s a big question mark.”
