Klopp, Guardiola, Tuchel, Pochettino: Where will the iconic managers go next?

If rumours are to be believed Mauricio Pochettino will be overlooked for the Manchester United job in favour of Erik ten Hag.

Now, that surprises us. Pochettino may not have enjoyed the greatest of spells in his time with Paris Saint-Germain but he does have proven Premier League credentials.

Not so long ago, ‘Poch’ was arguably the most desirable manager in Europe with Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola tied up, yet the Manchester United hierarchy believe Ten Hag could be the answer.

Maybe he is, only time will tell… although passing up on the former Spurs boss means that Pochettino will most likely be looking for a new club this summer.

And that got us thinking where he might end up – come to think of it, it got us wondering where all of the best managers might end up when they eventually leave their clubs.

Check out what we came up with below:

Jurgen Klopp:

Liverpool fans will be praying that Klopp extends his deal past the summer of 2024 and it’s looking rather likely that he will based upon recent interviews. Should he choose to take the leap though, we don’t think there’s too many destinations that would match up with Klopp’s style.

See, Klopp has always chosen clubs with a deep connection to their fan base and an almost underdog mentality. It’s tough to imagine him at a Real Madrid or even a Bayern Munich.

Instead we think when Klopp does eventually leave Anfield it will be for the German national team. He’s a family man and the more relaxed role should provide him the opportunity to take a breath from the intensity of the game.

Germany treasures him and imagine Klopp leading them into a World Cup – now that we want to see.

Verdict: German national team

Pep Guardiola:

Any side Pep goes into needs to be one of
