Mauricio Pochettino set to attend Tottenham’s first-leg tie with Atletico Madrid
Mauricio Pochettino, head coach of the United States Men’s National Soccer Team, is set to watch his former club Tottenham Hotspur in action on Tuesday.
According to The Athletic, the Argentine will be in the stands at the Metropolitano Stadium to see Atletico Madrid host Spurs in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie.
Pochettino, who has been linked with a return to Tottenham this season, will also be monitoring Johnny Cardoso, the United States midfielder who plays for Atletico Madrid. He will attend the game as a guest of the Spanish club.
Addressing the ongoing speculation, Pochettino said last week: “There are always rumours, I’m always linked [to clubs]. To Tottenham, just like at one time I was linked to Espanyol, or to other clubs.
“We’re focused on the World Cup, on the United States. My contract runs until after the World Cup, so after that we’ll see what might happen.
“Open to everything, right?”
