Mauricio Pochettino emerges as Barcelona target if Setien is sacked
Aug 3, 2020
- Mauricio Pochettino will replace Quique Setien at Barcelona if he is sacked at the end of the season, according to reports
- The Argentine boss has been out of work since he was let go by Premier League side Tottenham in October 2019
- Barcelona will take on Napoli in the round of 16 Champions league second leg tie at the Camp Nou
Mauricio Pochettino has become a prime target for Barcelona this summer if under pressure boss Quique Setien is relieved of his duties.
The Spanish giants have reportedly told Setien that he would be shown the door if he fails to win the Champions League this season.
Barcelona and Napoli played a 1-1 draw in their round of 16 clash in Naples and the second leg will be decided at the Camp Nou this weekend.
Setien was only brought in for Ernesto Valverde in January and it looks like the former Real Betis manager's days are numbered with La Blaugrana.
Reports from Daily Mail claim the Spanish boss will be let off the hook if he does not win the Champions League after surrendering La Liga title to rivals Real Madrid.
And it is understood that former Tottenham manager who has been out of work since last year October will be hired ahead of next season's campaign.
But the Argentine recently took back his words claiming no one knows what the future holds.
“Espanyol is where I made my name but I am not arrogant and I don’t like having made a statement like that on.
