Pochettino was born in Barcelona when his father played for Espanyol. Since then he’s followed Mauricio from club to club, although they broke after Tottenham when father joined Paris Saint-Germain and son stayed in London with Watford.
Mauricio is currently out of work after losing his job at PSG and being replaced by Christophe Gaultier. He had been linked with the vacant position at Athletic Club only for Ernesto Valverde to be appointed instead of him following Marcelino’s departure. Where he goes next is anyone’s guess.
