USA men’s national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino has shed light on his managerial philosophy and the clubs he could see himself coaching in the future. The Argentine tactician, who previously managed Tottenham Hotspur, PSG, and Chelsea, was candid about his style of play and the cultural factors that influence his decisions.
When asked about the possibility of coaching Barcelona, Pochettino was clear in his stance:
“Even if Barça made an offer; I’d never coach them. With my tactics, I could coach them, but I’d never do that. In my view, Espanyol is way more independent and way more Catalan club than Barcelona.”
