Pochettino has been a free agent since last summer when he parted ways with PSG. He was strongly linked to his former club Tottenham, but they bet on another temporary option until the summer after the departure of Antonio Conte a few days ago.

Information also appeared that the Argentine refused an offer from West Ham, and is among the options for Chelsea in the event of Graham Potter’s release.
