United have the opportunity to hire Pochettino as permanent manager as early as next month, and the Argentine could be sacked once Paris Saint-Germain are eliminated by Real Madrid in the Champions League round of 16.
On Monday night, Paris was eliminated from the Tournament penalty in the French Cup and was eliminated, which was naturally an unacceptable result as a French big Mac team. Although Pochettino led the team by 11 points in Ligue 1, it was not convincing enough.
"Telefoot" reported that the knockout match between the Champions League and Real Madrid will determine the fate of Pochettino. Paris will play at home on 15 February and at the Bernabeu on 9 March. If, after two legs, Paris are unable to reach the Champions League quarter-finals, Pochettino may not be able to save his job.
Paris Saint-Germain is said to be ready to invite Zidane to coach, but Pochettino will have many options if he returns to freedom, including Manchester United. As early as 2019, when Mourinho left class, the Red Devils considered making Uncle Bo the manager, and Fujue was his supporter.
France's "Parisian" further pointed out that even after passing the Real Madrid level, it does not mean that Pochettino's coaching position is completely stable. As long as he can't lead the team to win the Champions League trophy this season, he may be fired.
French media reported that Pochettino was well aware that a Champions League exit would lead to his dismissal, and told those around him that he did not expect him to continue to coach Paris Saint-Germain next season.
Pochettino, 49, has a year and a half left on his contract with Manchester United, and last summer he extended his contract with Paris Grande to 2023. Longnick's performance after coaching has been approved by the Manchester United board, but if Pochettino can be invited, they may change their attitude, because the Argentine coach is better than the 63-year-old Lannick.
Ajax's Tenhag is also United's favourite permanent manager, leading the team to score 61 goals in the Dutch League but conceding only five, and the outstanding statistics are shocking. In the UK's Red Devils new coach odds list, Tenhag is regarded as the number one favorite with a 2/1 index, and Pochettino is second 7/2. But if Pochettino leaves Paris Saint-Germain, he can save tens of millions of dollars in contract breaking, and naturally he will have a slight advantage over Tenhag.
Not only that, if the manager is determined in advance, then the summer transfer window can be opened as soon as possible according to his needs. If the manager is chosen at the end of the season, the time left for Manchester United to buy people is limited, and with the efficiency of the club, I am afraid that it will not be able to smoothly form a perfect squad.
Currently, Manchester United's executive vice-president Ed Woodward has officially stepped down from his position for 9 years and Richard Arnold will take over as president. Woodward, 50, joined the board in 2005 and succeeded David Gill in managing Manchester United in 2013. During his tenure, United's value tripled.
In 2005, Manchester United was valued at £800 million, which is now £2.4 billion; in 2013, the club's commercial revenue was £130 million, which has soared to 279 million in 2020, and even after the impact of the coronavirus, last year's revenue was 232 million. However, on the pitch, after the retirement of Verjue, United only won 3 trophies and never won the Premier League title.
Now, Woodward has abdicated, but he will not leave immediately, and there is a transition period, and Santoku will wait until April this year to officially leave the club. Alexander-Arnold will oversee the selection of United's new manager, with football director John Murtaugh being the real manager.
