Mauricio Pochettino is very open to the @ManUtd job. Issues at PSG.


Mauricio Pochettino is open to becoming #mufc manager and it is not out of the question they could get him now as talks set to begin #mulive [@sistoney67]

Mauricio Pochettino is less than happy with the setup at PSG, where his role is essentially first-team coach, with all broader club and footballing issues handled by sporting director Leonardo #mulive [@sistoney67]

Why would they be idiots for doing that in a few years. Perfect like for like replacement. It actually makes perfect sense and how a proper club would plan things.

Because they realize that its a whole different ball game managing a super club like City in the most competitive league in the world to managing Ajax.

Getting good-ish manages just does not work for clubs at the highest level. Chelsea and Juventus tried it with Sarri. Barcelona have tried it with numerous names. United tried it with Moyes and Ole. Liverpool tried it with Rodgers.

Seems perfect fit for me. I watch Ajax loads and there so similar in the way that Pep has City setup.

We will see how he handles the step up that will eventually come. Cant be that bad as your making out if Pep had him as one of his main guys at Bayern the time he was there.

Will see I guess.

One big surprise is one thing.

But it would have to be seismic for Pochetino to swap Paris for even greater disfunction. (It always amuses me that one person starts a rumour, with nothing direct from the person the rumours based on, and then every other ITK (STOP laughing at the back) bounces off the and runs the exact same thing. Zidane not to get the French gig. ten Haag to go straight from the Dutch league to replacing Guardiola at City. And Gerrard to properly turn things at Villa to show he's worthy of switching back to L'pool.

He was the coach of Bayern’s B team. Hardly, one of Pep’s main guys.

The current headline rumour grabber Pochetino would be a far more realistic shout for City.

Who was called up to help train with the first team under Pep who speaks highly of him. Who endorsed him to the Barca board to replace Komen. I’m not saying he would be a success but you can’t say he will flop either.
 
You know it's happening .....

Ajax use a lot more verticality in their movements compared to city. City typically try to get the ball into wide positions and drill low crosses/cut backs into the box or get the ball to one of them lads in half spaces to spam crosses into the back post (so KdB basically).

I can predict what city do when they attack whereas Ajax are a bit more fluid.
