MAURICIO POCHETTINO sent Tottenham fans into a frenzy yesterday by insisting “you have to listen” when Real Madrid come calling.
The Argentinian is the preferred candidate for the Spanish club’s president Fiorentino Perez after Zinedine Zidane’s shock resignation earlier this week in the wake of this third Champions League success.
Coincidentally, Pochettino is in Spain promoting the launch there of his autobiography, ‘Brave New World’, and when he was inevitably quizzed about the link, he deliberately left the door open on a possible move.
“When Madrid call you, you have to listen,” he said pointedly.
The stumbling block, as Pochettino went on to admit, is that he has just signed a new five-year contract to remain at Tottenham worth £8.5m-a-year.
