Poch linked with Argentina job

[beats1]

We're fucked then

Not really because they may go for Diego Simeone or Sampoali

Also the link with Simeone suggests they are open for the next manager to take it part time

 

[sussexyid]

As I said in the poch thread, I cant see how any Argentinean Manager could turn down the national team manager.

This is the opportunity to be considered a national legend in Argentina.

Also every manager who has managed Messi so far has been terrible

This is the last opportunity to be the last manager who manages Messi in a world cup as well as the likes of Aguerro, Higuain and Di Maria during their prime

Whether its Simeone or Poch, this would arguably be the biggest job of their career. This isn't like the england job where the whole country hates the national team. This is arguably their most talented group of players ever managed very poorly by the likes of Sabella and Maradona

Messi retired from International football after the Copa America, didnt he?

No doubt Poch would love this job. When he is in his mid fifties. He is a tracksuit manager, he loves the daily interaction with his players. I hope!!!

As above the press are claiming in Argentina that Messi has changed his mind.

Though its worth noting according to spanish press the head of Argentinean FA is going to Barcelona specifically to talk to Messi, and Mascherano. Before talking to Simeone, Sampoali and talking to Pochettino(though he wont be visiting Poch and will call him instead).

So effectively the next manager will probably by Messi and Mascherano

Yes, he was on the Sky Sunday Supplement regularly back in the early days.

From @ReutersSports: #Argentina FA want to speak to Maurico Pochettino and Diego Simeone about national team job

http://www.skysports.com/football/n...ams-mauricio-pochettino-over-coaching-vacancy
"Mauricio Pochettino and Diego Simeone are among the men Argentina want to talk to about the national team coach vacancy following last month's shock resignation of Gerardo Martino.

Armando Perez, head of an Argentine FA (AFA) Regularisation Committee, also plans to talk to Lionel Messi with a view to asking the team's former captain to reverse his decision to quit international soccer.

The four-person committee, put in place by world body FIFA, was due to begin work on Friday after being sworn in on Thursday."

If nothing else could have an unsettling effect on the squad.

Poch could rule himself out immediately if nothing in it.

 

[Armstrong_11]

Not happening. Same for Simeone. Just the FA trying to get some support back by being link with "big names"

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Surely they would also try for Bielsa?

 

[tototoner]

think this job is too early in his coaching career for Pochettino

 

[talkshowhost86]

Surely they would also try for Bielsa?

Seems like the obvious choice.

Lyall forget to mention Sampaoli which is in the original article that Reuters copied. I swear these "journalists" seem to get worse and worse

What's he done wrong this time?

He seems to have cult following on here and in the UK but the last time he was in charge of Argentina it didnt go so well but he has been linked by some along with Angel Russo as frontrunners

However in Pochettino, Simeone and Sampaoli you have 3 managers who have done well and achieved something. Whereas Bielsa despite his cult hero status has only taken Atletico Bilbao to the final and taken Chile to the round of 16. Sampaoli has surpassed that.

If you are a journalist, the least you could do is find the original source and quote that, rather than getting second hand information

He is getting paid for this and cant even fully research something he has written

I'm not saying he's any good.

I actually think he's massively over-hyped.

But I still think that's who they'll go for.

? I don't understand your point. No Sky Sports journalist has copied anything.
