Not Real Madrid or Barcelona: La Liga Club Has Mauricio Pochettino on Its List of Managerial Candidates

Press reports from Spain revealed that one of the Spain La Liga Club has Mauricio Pochettino on its list of Managerial Candidates, as Paris Saint-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino’s days in his role are coming to an end. After failing to reportedly land the Manchester United job, Pochettino appears to be heading back to Spain. According to L’Équipe, the 50-year-old is on the radar for the managerial position at Athletic Club. 
The newspaper added that the Argentine coach gave initial approval to the officials of the Spanish club, especially as he realizes that his days are numbered within the walls of the “Emirs’ Park”, in light of the team’s failure to achieve the Champions League title this season. The Spanish club is currently eighth in La Liga and isn’t in any of the European spots for next season; as a result, changes are coming for next season. Pochettino has experience in Spain while managing Espanyol, so it would be a league he’s familiar with as a player and coach.
The French L’Équipe pointed out that  Athletic Club head coach Marcelino García Toral hinted at his sadness because of the club's officials' moves to sign a new coach, despite the successes he achieved with the team during the current season.
