Ten Hag Unsure of Man Utd Stay With Pochettino Waiting in the Wings
After his departure from Chelsea, Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly eyeing a managerial role at Manchester United, according to renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Despite Erik ten Hag’s uncertain future at Old Trafford, Pochettino is prepared to step up to the challenge if the position becomes available.
Pochettino’s tenure at Chelsea came to an end after just one season, marked by a mix of struggles and late-season resurgence that secured the Blues a top-six finish and Europa League qualification.
Despite the setback, Pochettino is eager to bounce back and sees the potential vacancy at Manchester United as his next Premier League opportunity.
Throughout the season, Chelsea showed glimpses of improvement, notably in their late surge up the Premier League table, winning their last five matches to clinch a top-six spot.
Pochettino’s tactical acumen was evident in notable performances against Manchester United, including a thrilling 4-3 victory at Stamford Bridge.
However, with Chelsea opting for a managerial change, Pochettino is not dwelling on the setback. According to Romano, he is primed for any opportunity that comes his way, with the Manchester United job being a potential destination.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are swiftly moving to fill the managerial void left by Pochettino’s departure. Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna has reportedly emerged as a frontrunner for the position at Stamford Bridge.
McKenna, who guided Ipswich to promotion to the Premier League, has given Chelsea the green light to pursue him, although he is also a contender for the Manchester United job, setting up a potential managerial showdown between him and Pochettino.
