what could go wrong with any of that.....Standard Spurs summer drama.I had a dream last night that Poch had taken the Argentina job and we were going to bring in Gazza as new head coach!
Sorry, but managing at that level is no longer the ultimate job or opportunity.This may not be what we fans wish to hear, but in fact I suspect Pochettino would be very interested in the national job.
The highest accolade for a manager getting to manage at that level. And he's perfect for it - ultimately a coach, a man manager, a tactician and not necessarily that fussed with money (salary) or transfers (delegating to scouts).
He may not be their first choice but they'll want to consider him. He may not accept the terms of employment or feel it's not the right time in his career but this opportunity may not come again (e.g. Redknapp).
So for those of us who consider him out best manager of recent times to take us to the next level, we should be really worried!
That's not to say it'd be the end of the world if we lost him, but I'm not sure who we could use to replace him and it'd feel like a step backwards (again). Especially with our managerial track record.
Sorry, but managing at that level is no longer the ultimate job or opportunity.
If you hadn't noticed all the top managers are at club level. All of them. Most of them will likely never even touch an international job with a 10 foot pole either.
Sampaoli has turned down the Argentina job, so there goes the myth that it's impossible for an Argentinian to not take the opportunity when offered.
Fair enough.He turned down the job because Sevilla threatened to demand him for a enormous amount.
Sampaoli actually was willing to drop his new job where he's been less than a month and after they brought him like 6 new players of his choosing.
The same goes for Pochettino. If he didn't have a new contract and could leave Spurs without paying he would 100% accept the job. Simeone even said that he would consider doing a part time job. Bielsa is the only one that is different from the rest of the country and could reject it
