Mauricio Pochettino is currently one of the most reputable unemployed trainers. Benfica Lisbon has just attempted to contract the Argentine.
Pochettino was released from Tottenham last November. Since then, his name has often appeared in media speculations. Argentinean combined with Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester United or Newcastle United.
Benfica, who is looking for a successor to Bruno Lage, dreamed of employing a 48-year-old. The bosses of the Lisbon club originally wanted to re-contract Jorge Jesus, but he prefers to continue working at Flamengo. In this situation, they attempted to employ Pochettino.
The Portuguese daily Record even claims that the first talks between the parties have already taken place. Benfica was to prepare an attractive contract for Pochettino, but the media is still skeptical of her chances of success. “March” comments that the arrival of the Argentinean in Lisbon is a dream of club activists rather than a real possibility.
The person himself claims that he does not yet know what his next job will be. He spoke about it in an interview given a few days ago.
– That’s a million dollar question. I ask them every day. I have to be ready and open to the challenge when football demands me Pochettino admitted.
Benfica is currently in second place in the Portuguese league table. Six laps before the end of the competition to the leading Porto loses three points.
