Mauricio Pochettino wants a new job after 'shock' Chelsea sacking and Manchester United role not ruled out

Mauricio Pochettino wants to get back to work quickly after leaving Chelsea last week following a review meeting with the club's owners and sporting directors. 

Pochettino who won all of his last five games wants to throw himself straight back into things having enhanced his reputation as a manager with the right blend of developing players and competing for big things in the Premier League. 

Sources close to the Argentinian have told LondonWorld that he intends to go away for a few days to see his son in Spain and his parents in Argentina but will keep his phone on in case someone attempts to speak to him. 

Since leaving Chelsea eight days ago, He’s been swiftly linked to the Manchester United job after reports broke that manager Erik ten Hag was fighting for his job and the United board was split on the direction the club was heading. 

There have also been weak links to Brighton and Hove Albion too even though it is highly unlikely that he will be heading to Sussex. What is certain though is that after leading Chelsea to Wembley twice and securing European football for the first time under Chelsea's American ownership, he’s strengthened his reputation as one of the top managers in the game with unique man-managing skills that brought the best out of players like Cole Palmer, Moises Caicedo and Noni Madueke at the end of his time in west London. 

What Pochettino said after Chelsea exit was confirmed 

Before leaving the club the 52-year-old Argentinian made it a point to highlight the work he’d done by saying the club was now in a good position to compete again after securing qualification to the Europa League at that time. It turned out to be the Europa Conference League after Manchester United from nowhere beat their sworn rivals Manchester City at Wembley. 

Mauricio Pochettino said: “Thank you to the Chelsea ownership group and Sporting Directors for the opportunity to be part of this football club's history. The Club is now well positioned to keep moving forward in the Premier League and Europe in the years to come.”
