Beijing time on March 13: After Paris Saint-Germain was eliminated by Real Madrid, in fact, Pochettino's dismissal is only a matter of time. According to French media RMC sport, the Qatari royal family summoned Parisian president Nasser in the first moment after the team was eliminated. Qatar's behind-the-scenes financiers have made it clear that Nasser will replace Pochettino as soon as possible, no matter who the new manager is, but Pochettino will have to leave in the near future.
At the same time, in fact, Pochettino's next home is also very good judgment. Manchester United are already in action, and there are teams in the Premier League besides Manchester United who want to take Pochettino down. Interestingly, Pochettino himself made two demands in the face of United's contact. The first is the generous salary, which is not surprising. All along, outside fans have always felt that Pochettino is gentle and elegant, whether he is facing media reporters or dealing with the relationship in the dressing room, he always seems to be very easy-going, and there is no excessive demand.
In fact, however, Pochettino himself is far from being as simple as it seems. At that time, There were Italian media reports that after Pochettino led Spurs to win the Champions League runner-up, Juventus changed coaches in the second year, and they directly contacted Pochettino. But Pochettino's demand was to receive an annual salary of 20 million euros, the highest salary for a football coach at the time. Juventus was directly intimidated by such a lion's wide-open demand, and in the end they did not choose to take Pochettino. After all, the salary of 20 million euros is too high, and few people, even among the players, can get this level of salary except the coach. It has to be said that Pochettino is still very surprising in this regard.
This time he was equally demanding of Manchester United, but Manchester United didn't care because they could still get the salary. In the post-Ferguson era, United's investment in the manager has always been high. As long as the manager does not meet the team's expectations, then they will pay a high compensation to change the coach early. Not counting the manager's salary, the head coach's compensation kimman united alone has put in more than 40 million pounds in recent years. So Pochettino's salary they were able to satisfy. In addition, Pochettino's second condition is that he must be regarded as the first candidate. Because United currently have two main goals for changing managers, in addition to Pochettino, Ajax manager Tenhag is also an important candidate for the change of manager.
But Pochettino is reluctant to let United see himself as one of the manager changes, and he hopes his pick will be ahead of Tenhag. At the same time, I hope that Manchester United will not contact Tenhag again in the future, so as not to change the situation. These two conditions seem easy to satisfy, but they are actually very demanding. Pochettino is also sure that Manchester United are eager to change the manager, but Tenghag is currently unable to leave immediately (Ajax released at the end of the season, but Man lenovo changed the coach as soon as possible, which is the point of conflict of contradiction).
So United can only choose Pochettino, according to the latest news from the British media Times Sports. United chose Pochettino after a decision. They will meet the conditions put forward by the Argentine, and the change of manager in the coming weeks will be finalized. For Pochettino, the coaching resume in Greater Paris was not a success, so he wants to return to Manchester United to prove himself.
For United, the team needs a manager who is familiar with the Premier League, and Pochettino is the best candidate. What do you think of Pochettinoti's two-point request?
