Barcelona manager, with the club planning to sack Quique Setién in the coming days following their 8-2 hammering by Bayern Munich in the
Champions League. The decision is expected to be ratified at a board meeting on Monday and will be just the first of a series of key changes over the next month.
Pochettino ate dinner with the Barcelona president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, last week according to Spanish radio station Cadena Ser. The former
Tottenham manager, who played for and managed Barça’s local rivals Espanyol, has moved to distance himself from a previous remark, in which he claimed that he would rather go home and work on a farm than coach Barcelona.
