Who is this?

According to Football Insider, former Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino is interested in holding talks with the Toon if their proposed takeover goes through. The Argentinian is a target to replace Steve Bruce if the bid receives Premier League approval.

As per the Daily Express, the takeover is likely to be approved by the Premier League – despite concerns raised by the likes of Amnesty International and BeIN Sports.

If the proposed takeover happens who would you prefer as manager?

However, these Toon fans are discussing Pochettino in particular.

What do we think?

Earlier this week, Newcastle were previously linked with a move for the Argentine in the Daily Mirror, and now latest reports seem to imply that he would be interested in becoming the manager at St. James’ Park should this takeover happen.

Pochettino joined Spurs in 2014 and left in late 2019 having transformed the club and developed the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli.

If Newcastle’s takeover is approved, then we think that appointing Pochettino could be a very exciting and ambitious move.
