Mauricio Pochettino has made his stance on returning to management clear. He is ready to return to the dugout and that poses a serious problem for Manchester United as they prepare to stand by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The Argentine has been out of work for nearly a year, following his dramatic sacking at Tottenham in November 2019.
Making his first public appearance in quite some time, Pochettino was a guest in the Monday Night Football Studio with Dave Jones and Jamie Carragher ahead of Leeds vs Leicester.
Following his introduction, Pochettino wasted no time in making it clear that he was ready to return to management as he eyes his next venture.
He said: “I always feel ready to be in the game because I love football. It’s not a stress. It’s not a stress to go to the training ground.
