Mauricio Pochettino has expressed his desire to manage one day in the Serie-A but has made it clear he has no intention of leaving Tottenham Hotspur for the time being.
Pochettino has been one of the most highly regarded managers and over the years his stock has only risen. Spurs have been one of the most refreshed teams in the European circuit and Pochettino has done a wonderful job so far.
Since the former Espanyol manager took charge Spurs have been a regular place holder of the top four and this season too they have made an excellent start.
Pochettino said, “My contract expires in four-and-a-half years – if [Spurs chairman Daniel] Levy does not fire me first.
“Seriously, today I see myself here. I dream of winning a trophy with Tottenham, maybe the Premier League in our new stadium.
“In the future to also manage the Argentine team is my desire.
“The important thing is to be happy and I am right now. Me in Serie A? I have Italian origins and it would be a wonderful experience.”
“Argentines and Italians are very similar, for the way we live life and for our passion for football. Clearly [to work in Italy] I would need to have a better grasp of Italian, as language is fundamental to communicate with players.
“I remember that my grandfather would speak to me quite often in Italian but I was quite young. I’d need to do a bit of practice before moving to Italy.
“Years ago there were contacts with Sampdoria. I was at Espanyol, they showed an interest but then nothing happened.”
