Barcelona Join Bayern Munich Race For Sacked Coach Mauricio Pochettino!


Barcelona have now joined the race to appoint Mauricio Pochettino as its new manager despite Ernesto Valverde still being in charge at the club. After 5 years at Tottenham, Pochettino was sacked on Tuesday night in what shocked everyone.

But, According to The Sun, Pochettino's next job is already lining up with Barcelona and Bayern Munich very interested in the manager.

Ernesto Valverde is under pressure at the Nou Camp after an indifferent start to the season.

Bayern Munich are also believed to be in the running as they search for a long-term replacement for Niko Kovac, who departed at the start of the month.

His former No 2, Hansi Flick, has taken interim charge at the Allianz Arena.

The interest from Barcelona is the most intriguing, with Pochettino having previously distanced himself from the Catalan giants due to his ties with Espanyol.

He said in 2018: 'It's something that is more than understood.

'I have a lot of friends in Barcelona, who are from the Blaugrana and to whom I have enormous respect, but my path and that of Barcelona are different, opposite directions, and coaching there would be impossible.'
