Hope Juve snap him up, he'll win things easy in Italy, he can grow as a manager over there, become a bit more tactical and learn to adapt against team in the CL, then he can come back in a few years.

If he doesn’t win the league there he’ll be out on his ear after a year. He’ll have to get to the semis of the champions league as a minimum too. Really looking forward to see what he’s made of without the excuse of having levy as his chairman.

Imagine if Poch became Juventus manager and tapped up Kane.

Would be beautiful revenge on Levy.

Further to my earlier reply, I also somehow doubt that the combo of Juve and Poch would tempt Harry away.

For all that Juve are a huge club, Serie A is some way off the level of the Premier League and La Liga these days. If he's to be tempted elsewhere, I think it will take one of the big two in Spain, if they're interested.

You might say that Poch would sway things in Juve's favour, if he was their manager. But that would be to ignore the reports from late last year that, by the end of Poch's time at Spurs, Harry was one of the players who was most unhappy.

With Pochettino his situation is getting a bit clear of which clubs he can go to. He wants to manage a PL team but can’t see that happen now. Pep and Ole stays in Manchester and Newcastle won’t get new owners
Zidane will stay at Real and Flick got the Bayern job

So can only see Poch at 2 maybe 3 clubs now if he don’t wait any longer.
Juventus, Barcelona and maybe PSG


PSG maybe if they get knocked out by Atalanta but even then I can see Tuchel staying. Poch as we know is ex PSG player and captain.
Barca wants to get rid of Setien already and he’s apparently their first choice and Poch has taken his words back that he would never coach Barca.
And the most realistic option is Juventus. They will sack Sarri and apparently Poch is their first choice. He has Italian roots, it’s a massive club and he will have money to spend, he can be seen as one of the best managers in the world if he wins them the Champions League.
And Cristiano Ronaldo for some reason follows his son, Maurizio, on Instagram

If I was Poch I would take the Juventus job if they call him

Were there not rumours that Kane was one of the players that became disillusioned with Poch?
They may have remained friends and have a lot of respect for each other but I'm not sure that he'd be in a rush to join him again.
Kane wants to win things and break records and to be honest, Jose may well be his best option for that at present.

Agree on Premier League, disagree on La Liga. In Spain you have 2 mega giants and Atletico who are really strong. After that you have solid teams like Sevilla but some really shit ones. A big gulf. In Italy Juve are at a level above Altetico but below Real and Barca. After that you have some solid clubs like Inter, Lazio, Roma, Atalanta that I would say are better than most of the Spanish league. You have a few stragglers at the bottom but I actually feel the weaker clubs in Serie A are better than the weaker clubs in La Liga. Basically, with the exception of Juve it's a more even spread in terms of ability and quality of football. Some of the small sides can really give a challenge sometimes, much like in the Premier League.

Anyway, going back to Poch. I think he'd be great for Juve but it will be a big test for him. A real "can he make it at the top" challenge. He'll get more financial backing from Juve than Levy gave him, but he'll have to work hard for it. Juve have a strong team with Ronaldo and Dybala at the top, Artur coming in alongside Rabiot (who is getting better), and De Ligt is becoming a world class cente back.

However, he's got ageing defenders who are near the end of their time and past their peak (Bonucci and Chiellini), and some pretty average players that are dotted around that squad that need improving on if Juve want to challenge for the CL title. They have a squad good enough to get them over the line in Italy, thanks to being carried by a handful of world class players, but overall they're not good enough to beat the other top clubs right now.

People not rating Poch that highly is making me angry (not just Spurs fans). He’s such a good manager and if he gets the Juve job and money to spend he will prove it

Tbf Juve squad isn’t as good as before especially in midfield (poor Poch who will have another team with a shit midfield) and teams like Atalanta, Inter and Milan can really challenge for the title next season

Juve was lucky to win it this season

Poch to Juve is very very likely to happen. I recall an interview he did a few years back before we played them, where he seemed proud to mention that his family originated from Turin along with his surname. He obviously values the place in high regard so if Juve place him at the top of their list then I think the job is his

Would be cool and something most of us could support him at.
Way better black and white stripes than Newcastle.

People immediately think Kane, I reckon he'll come for Foyth

I hope he does go to Juventus... he will certainly have the money but i do feel Juve needs a rebuild for them to win the CL, theyre overloaded inmidfield with similiar type players and their defence is ageing

Pressure is on though as he needs to win the CL as theyre routinely Serie A champions (but the league is getting way more competitive recently)
