Former Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino might be in line to replace Gareth Southgate as England’s head coach.
The England Job Vacancy
The England managerial position is open following Gareth Southgate’s resignation after Euro 2024, and Mauricio Pochettino is being considered for the role.
Pochettino’s Prospects
England is not ruling out Pochettino despite him being a foreign coach, which means the Argentine could potentially take charge at Wembley.
Alternative Plans for Pochettino
If the England job doesn’t materialize, Pochettino might wait for an opportunity at a Premier League club. Should a top team come knocking, Chelsea could be looking at some financial gain.
Impact on Chelsea’s Rivals
Pochettino isn’t just limited to the England job. He could also consider managing the USA national team if approached.
However, if Pochettino decides to manage one of Chelsea’s Premier League rivals, things get tricky. The Telegraph reports that Chelsea would be owed a £5m compensation fee if Pochettino joins one of the Premier League’s top six clubs within six months of leaving Stamford Bridge. Given that he only left Chelsea in May, this is still a possibility, though it would likely require a poor start to the season by one of these elite teams.
Potential Premier League Destinations
Looking at the top Premier League teams, Chelsea is off the table given his recent departure.
Current Top Team Situations
Manchester City and Arsenal are stable under Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta, respectively, so changes there seem unlikely.
Liverpool has just brought in Arne Slot and will likely give him time to establish himself.
More Likely Options
This leaves Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur as the more plausible destinations for Pochettino.
Previous Interest
There were claims that Pochettino was eyeing the Manchester United job after his departure from Chelsea last season.
