The dismissal of Norwegian Ole Gunnar Solksjaer from Manchester United may cause a tremor at Paris Saint Germain: according to what was published by the English press, Mauricio Pochettino, Lionel Messi’s current coach at PSG, “is ready” to move to the team British to replace the discharged technician.
Beyond being a leader in Ligue 1 and in the qualifying zone in the Champions League, Pochettino acknowledged last week in an interview with the newspaper L’Equipe that it is very complex to command a team with so many stars. And since his family remains in England, the British newspaper Daily Mail uses both arguments to strengthen the Argentine’s candidacy. “He has become unhappy in the French capital, where he lives in a hotel while his family remains in London, and is said to be frustrated with managing a locker room with big egos like Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé.”
Pochettino, 49, a former Tottenham Hotspur coach, whom he qualified for the final of the 2019 European Champions League, was already in United’s portfolio when Solskjaer was finally appointed to the position to replace Portuguese José Mourinho in December 2018. .
Daily Mail assures that the Argentine “is still admired by the hierarchy of Old Trafford”, despite the suspicious looks he receives in France for a PSG that has not yet reached the football level expected by virtue of his stellar squad.
The Parisian team dominates widely in Ligue 1 but in Europe it does not mark great differences and is second in Group A, with a point of difference with respect to the leader Manchester City, which it will visit this Wednesday. The landing of “Poch” in the city increases the rumors of a possible contact with United that until the end of the year will have the interim of Michael Carrick.
Leicester coach Brendan Rodgers; former Real Madrid coach, Frenchman Zinedine Zidane, and Ralf Rangnick, currently sporting director at Lokomotiv Moscow, are also candidates to inherit the squad led by Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo.
Manchester United occupies the eighth position in the Premier League with 17 points and the first place in Group F of the Champions League with 7 units, the same as Villarreal of Spain, which it will visit this Tuesday for the fifth and penultimate date. Solskjaer was fired this Sunday by the club’s board after a 4-1 win at Watford, which fights for relegation places in the English championship.
