What attracts most of Pochettino: his character and treatment of key young people

After the departure of Zidane, and the signing of Allegri by Juventus, the best placed to be the next white coach was Conte. However, Pochettino is beginning to gain ground.

After a bad season at PSG, where the team has not been able to reach the Champions League final and Lille ended their reign in Ligue 1, the future of Pochettino seems to be moving away from Paris. And there are already those who place him as the number 1 candidate to replace Zidane on the Madrid bench. The truth is that his name has always been linked to the white future, but now it is closer than ever.

There are many qualities that stand out from the Argentine, and that make him the favorite for Florentino. He is an experienced man, with more than ten seasons of experience in the first division in Spain, England and France.

Despite not having a great track record as a coach, he has only won the Super Cup and the French Cup, his effort and sacrifice have always been highlighted by the presidents of the clubs in which he has been. And it is that under that formula, he led Tottenham to be runner-up in the Champions League.

And it is that above all his character stands out. He is a kind guy, who is always liked by the press, but able to make things clear in a locker room when necessary. (PSG sets its conditions to let Pochettino go)

Besides being a great coach, His ability to work mentally with the squad was demonstrated in his time at Espanyol. And it is that he had to face the hard decision to lift up a changing room that suffered the death of Dani Jarque.

His treatment with the players has always been exquisite, Few have had run-ins with a coach who usually wins over the squad from day one. And that he has had to deal with big stars like Kane, Mbappé or Neymar.

But his hand with the young also stands out. Madrid has lived this season the irruption of Antonio Blanco, Sergio Arribas or Miguel Gutiérrez. And with the Argentine, they would surely have many opportunities to continue growing, since he has always bet on youth.

Pressure and good football

In football, Mauritius teams have always been characterized by two details. The suffocating pressure on the rival and good football. Especially in his last stage in Paris, the forwards were the first defensive line. with great pressure work.

But he also likes that his teams treat the ball well. Without accumulating useless possession like other coaches, he is capable of producing quality football. And it is that the line that works the most is that of the center of the field. And in Madrid he would have two of the best like Modric and Kroos.
