Pochettino talked to a few reporters in Doha, Qatar, where he is on site to watch the club's World Cup. He has been a swinger to Argentina and tried to enjoy the involuntary free time after he unexpectedly got fired from Tottenham as he led to its first Champions League final this spring.
However, Spurs had a miserable fall in the league and were only in 14th place in the league and had not won since January when Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy made the decision to fire Pochettino and instead hired former Chelsea and Manchester United coach José Mourinho , a decision that got many fans going to the ceiling.
Tough to get fired after five years- It was so tough to get fired after 5.5 years. The trip we did was fantastic and I don't feel that I need to explain what happened - just that it was an honor to be in Tottenham, says Pochettino who wants to return to the coach job as quickly as possible according to Reuters and AP.
- I have recharged the batteries and am ready if anything should come up. I am a coach and want to be in the best place I can imagine. I am a person who is willing to listen so we will see what happens in the future, ”says Pochettino without specifying further.
He has previously ruled out a club, FC Barcelona, after his time in the local rival Espanyol.
