Former Tottenham and PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino has been without a club since the summer. In an interview with The Athletic he talked about his current situation. A possible engagement as national coach of England was also an issue. Pochettino was open to it.
Mauricio Pochettino’s tenure at Paris St. Germain came to an end last summer. The French championship title 21/22 and cup victory 20/21 were the result of a year and a half collaboration. Not enough for the PSG bosses. Pochettino was criticized in particular for the memorable end in the Champions League against Real Madrid. He has now been without a club for about five months.
In an interview with The Athletic the 50-year-old spoke about his future, among other things. The possibility of becoming Gareth Southgate’s successor as England manager was also discussed. When asked about the idea, Pochettino said: “I feel very comfortable here. You never know what will happen. I’m open to everything.” His relationship with England has always been “very good”. He likes that England is trying to develop young players for the national team.
Gareth Southgate is increasingly coming under criticism as the current national coach. Despite reaching the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and the final of the 2021 European Championship, many Englishmen are demanding an exemption. Again and again the accusation is that Southgate allows destructive football to be played, which England is not worthy of. Most recently, the World Cup squad also caused criticism. Southgate chose just one player from an away league in Jude Bellingham.
