Spanish club, Athletic Bilbao have reportedly been eyeing former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino who has been out of work since November 2019.
Athletic’s current head coach, Gaizka Garitano is currently under pressure and his long term future at the club is far from certain. Pochettino has been linked to Manchester United but Marca is reporting that Athletic is preparing to make a swoop for the Argentinean trainer.
The former RCD Espanyol coach has also been mentioned as a front-runner for both PSG and Real Madrid if either European giant decides to part ways with their manager. The report admits that it might be tough to lure Pochettino to Bilbao but point out that he did learn from club legend Marcelo Bielsa and he has spoken glowingly about the club in the past.
If Pochettino were to turn them down the other options are a possible return for Ernesto Valverde or, more likely, a move for former Valencia and Villarreal manager Marcelinho.
