The day after Leonardo's release about his future, Mauricio Pochettino was once again vague on the subject at a press conference, while a departure of the Argentine could become relevant again at the end of the season.
After a hectic week marked by many rumors concerning the future of Mauricio Pochettino , and the possible arrival of Zinedine Zidane to compensate for this departure, Leonardo decided to break the silence this Friday, with AFP. “We don't want Pochettino to leave. He never asked to leave and no club contacted us in relation to him, entrusted the sporting director of PSG . We have a lot of respect for Zinédine Zidane, which he did as a player and coach, but I can tell you very clearly that there is no contact and that no meeting with him has taken place. “Linked to PSG until June 2023, Mauricio Pochettino could therefore have the opportunity to finish the season in the capital, but his future in the long term remains very uncertain.
A departure at the end of the season for Pochettino?
While Manchester United is preparing to appoint Ralf Rangnick as interim, Mauricio Pochettino would remain one of the priorities of the Red Devils for next season. In recent days, the English press has indicated that the Premier League is missing for the Argentine, who is still not fully integrated in Paris. Information confirmed this Saturday by Goal, which announces that the departure of Pochettino at the end of the season is likely if PSG receives a substantial transfer offer to free their manager from their last year of contract. Moreover, it is the entourage of the Argentine who would be at the origin of the revelations in the press of the mutual interest of Manchester United for Mauricio Pochettino , just like the information about his discomfort in the French capital. Clearly, the Pochettino soap opera is far from over, especially since the main party remains vague about his situation.
“We are not focused on that but on our work ”
Asked this Saturday at a press conference about these last eventful days, Mauricio Pochettino preferred to focus on the season in PSG course. “We have always been focused on our work, on the games, on our job. We cannot control the rumors, but we have always remained focused on our missions. I'm focused on PSG, happy, we have experience and used to rumors. This is a good signal to be followed, it shows that you are doing a good job. But we are discreet, we are not focused on this but on our work, on the club where we are, and that is PSG. We have to stay calm and focused, the players too to win the matches. »To be continued…
