Think Ancelotti will have 1 more year at Madrid and then Poch will take over next season.

He'll have a team full of young hungry players to build around.
be a bad choice for him i think

think he should sit tight for a team in Germany or a prem club like Villa, Everton, maybe newcastle

Can't see that Poch has done enough to deserve the biggest job in football.

Having it be so public that he's going but not actually sacking him yet doesn't seem like a great way to treat a manager. At least he's still getting paid I suppose.

i know it sounds crazy but he's mr espanyol and was very close to going to Barca. I know from various people who know he's family how much they've love it in north London. Just wouldn't put it past him if he's willing to go to Barca
Was he really?

He was interviewed sometime ago where he said he’d never go to Arsenal, as it would be a similar thing to going to Barca having been at Espanyol.

IMHO he thinks too much of Spurs to want to sully his legacy by joining the goons.

The case for Napoli:


Napoli

Pochettino is an underdog. So, as much as his coaching is about pressing and full-backs and interchangeable forward positions, its effectiveness is also determined by context. That’s where his relationship with supporters comes from. That’s what helps develop his psychological hold over players — the one that makes them run further, work harder and, ultimately, be better than they otherwise might.

So imagine that in Naples. If Pochettino were to manage there, it would really be something. In a city with a chip on its shoulder and in a region that the rest of the country has historically looked down upon, put an Argentinian in the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona and aim him at Serie A’s aristocratic clubs in the north; at the very least, those are the opening scenes of a documentary that most would want to watch.

I mean WTF
He's not going to be there next season- the new guy is touted to be in situ over the coming days
Very strange

His bank account is continuing to fill up whilst he is doing no work. Wonderful stuff.

PSG are a mess albeit a very rich one so you can't judge anyone on their time there as you can see from Tuchel and Emery.

I'm still a huge Poch fan so I'm hoping he gives anyone else in England a miss.

I actually thought a good scenario would have been Mourinho to PSG as he knows how to deal with big names and Poch to Roma.

But I'd like to see him in Italy or Spain in a club with a similar standing to ours. Valencia, Sevilla, Bilbao, Roma, Lazio etc.

to think he was our first choice in November and they would not let him leave.
Good for us ??? ... I bet we wouldn't have CL and the summer we are having now if PSG would have let Poch leave... maybe another time in the future.

But PSG are a bunch of w****** we can agree on that.

I bet Espanyol would love to have Poch... and Poch would say yes in a heartbeat.

Reports out there today saying he wants to return to the EPL.
I feel his stock has dropped a lot by his time in PSG and can't see where he'll get a call from EPL team anytime soon.
As others have stated Germany, Italy or Spain I think (I know nothing) will help his stock rise again and then return to the EPL in a few years time
