According to the "Sun", "Team Newspaper" and other media reports, Pochettino refused to take over Manchester United in the summer window, but hoped to continue to lead Paris Saint-Germain to the Champions League next season.
After being eliminated from the Champions League by Real Madrid, Paris was in a rather sluggish state, after losing 0-3 to Monaco, Paris has lost four times in the last 6 matches, suffering three consecutive defeats away from home. At the same time, this campaign is also the biggest defeat of the season in Paris.
Despite the team's poor performance, Pochettino had no intention of leaving Paris. The team newspaper revealed that if the club can meet some requirements, Pochettino will continue to stay in Paris. Pochettino aims to lead the team to champions league, but he wants to have more say in some of the club's decisions. Once the club meets this requirement, then Pochettino will remain in Paris.
In fact, Because of the poor results this season, Paris sporting director Leonardo has been criticised and is likely to leave the team after the end of the season, making Pochettino's desire for greater power very likely to be met.
Before Against Monaco, Pochettino hinted at this, "At the club we have to find the best way to work together, which means we have to adapt our ideas, our plans and our approach. ”
The media once believed that the new manager of Manchester United would be produced between Pochettino and Tenhach, and after Pochettino's statement, Tenhach became almost the only choice for Manchester United.
The Manchester Evening News revealed that although no final decision has been made, Tenhach has become United's first choice. The Sun analyzed that if Pochettino wanted to stay in Paris, Tenhach seemed to be the most likely person to replace Lonnick.
