Pochettino made known his desire to return to Premier League managerial duties in an interview with talkSPORT, quoted by Metro:

''I miss the Premier League. Why not [return], we are open! I am really open. I love England and I am living between London and Barcelona, but more in London. My house, my home… I love to be in England. The Premier League is the best league in the world. It’s so competitive.''

What are Pochettino's options?

Pochettino is highly admired in England, despite having never won a trophy in his six seasons in charge of English clubs Southampton and Tottenham.

His best season for a Premier League club was a second-place finish in 2015/16 season for Spurs and making the 2019 UEFA Champions League final, which his side lost to Liverpool.
