Tottenham news: Mauricio Pochettino’s odds drastically cut from 20/1 to 2/1 for Real Madrid job
MAURICIO POCHETTINO'S odds of becoming Real Madrid boss have been slashed from 20/1 to just 2/1.
The Tottenham boss' price has drastically been cut overnight since Tottenham's defeat to Manchester City.
SunSport exclusively revealed Los Blancos want Poch as their new boss after Madrid's senior players spoke out against Antonio Conte getting the job.
Julen Lopetegui was sacked after being humiliated by their rivals Barcelona 5-1 in El Clasico.
Pochettino has been earmarked as the next man for the role ever since Lopetegui got off to bad start.
Pochettino also confessed this period is the worst he has ever felt at Spurs.
Santiago Solari is the favourite at 8/11 but his odds have drifted overnight, while Conte's odds have also drifted to 4/1.
Solari has been brought in as interim manager and will have the first crack at securing the job on a permanent basis.
Sky Bet: Next Real Madrid manager
Santiago Solari 8/11
Mauricio Pochettino 2/1
Antonio Conte 4/1
Arsene Wenger 8/1
ROberto Martinez 20/1
Guti 25/1
Arsene Wenger is next in the market at 8/1 as he is still looking to return to management after taking time out after 22 years at Arsenal.
spokesman, George Elek: ‘Pochettino is a manager held in high regard around the globe and it appears he is starting to conclude Tottenham cannot match his ambitions.
“He has, however, always laughed off questions about moves away from the North London club, so I wouldn’t be worrying too much if i was a Spurs fan. Yet, anyway.”
