Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly waiting to see if Manchester City come calling in the summer before deciding on his next move.
The Sun claim he’s only interested in two positions in England and would be open to joining the Champions or Manchester United.
How have the City fans reacted to the latest reports concerning the 47-year-old’s future?
Is Pochettino the man to eventually take over from Guardiola?
Yes
No
Lol…I would take Brendan Rodgers over him tbh

Yeah right. Those two positions are fundamentally contradictory.

What do we think?
Mauricio Pochettino did a fantastic job at Tottenham but the one black mark against his name comes as a result of his failure to guide his side to a trophy. The north London club were beaten in last seasons Champions League final by Premier League rivals Liverpool and the Argentinian was unable to lift his team following the disappointment.
City are a team who have been synonymous for winning trophies in recent seasons and whilst some would argue Pochettino would be far better equipped to do so with the club’s talented squad others would argue his previous doesn’t warrant him being given the role.
A talented coach no doubt but on the question around whether he is suited to working in such a high-pressured environment the jury is still out.
