Mauricio Pochettino has refused to rule out a return to the Premier League after admitting he is ready to return to management.
Pochettino left Chelsea by mutual consent at the end of the season and has since been replaced by Leicester manager Enzo Maresca.
However, the Argentine coach returned to Stamford Bridge to lead the rest of the world in Soccer Aid on Sunday, a match they lost to England.
Speaking to talkSPORT after the match, Pochettino reflected on the experience, saying: “It was good. It was a good experience. All the fans here gave us a nice welcome.”
“It’s a strange feeling because we finished a few weeks ago, but I’m happy to be back here.”
Now out of a job, Pochettino is eyeing his next opportunity in football.
Asked about his plans, he said: “I’m full of energy and I think we finished very well. Now we just wait and see what happens.”
“In football, you never know, things can happen – nothing can come up today but tomorrow and any opportunity, we’re open to listening.”
When asked specifically about a return to the Premier League, he smiled and replied: “Open for football, we are open for football.”
Having already managed Southampton, Tottenham and Chelsea in the Premier League, Pochettino remains one of the most likeable managers in the top flight. His potential return would undoubtedly be welcomed by fans.
Manchester United are yet to decide on Erik ten Hag’s future, with Pochettino previously linked with a move to Old Trafford.
His experience and success in rebuilding clubs could make him a suitable candidate for the job.
With Ten Haag returning from holiday, it looks like his future will be decided this week.
