Window Cleaner Posted 29 May, 2013 Share Posted 29 May, 2013 Basing it all on a tweet that says " Pochettino has an offer from Benfica " Hoping its just another silly season story ! but Benfica already have Jesus as coach, can't get much better than that.

Micky Posted 29 May, 2013 Share Posted 29 May, 2013 This sounds really bad news, can well do without all the upheaval of finding a new manager during the close season. Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 29 May, 2013 Share Posted 29 May, 2013 Even if they've made an offer, i doubt he'd accept it. No idea what they're able to offer that we can't, unless he is really caught up on CL football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he will go now but if anything it shows the asset we have on our hands. Just the same way our players are linked away so will he be.

Saint Charlie Posted 29 May, 2013 Share Posted 29 May, 2013 Completely different circumstances. Agree but naive to think that just because a team has a Manager that they aren't talking to the Agent of another to see if they would potentially be interested. As I said, would be shocked if he left, but Im sure he is and will be coveted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Diamond Posted 29 May, 2013 Share Posted 29 May, 2013 I'd be very surprised if he left, for a number of reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what they're able to offer that we can't, unless he is really caught up on CL football. Really? Think about that again without your Saints scarf cutting off the circulation to your brain. I don't personally think he'll leave...this summer, but to not realise that Benfica is one of the biggest jobs available in European football and a massive temptation to any manager is just daft.

tajjuk Posted 29 May, 2013 Share Posted 29 May, 2013 I know Benfica missed out on a treble, but they were almost unbeaten in the league and reached the finals of two cups where they were unlucky to loose both. Can't see how they would sack their current manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted 29 May, 2013 Share Posted 29 May, 2013 I thought he was under contract? Won't stop them making an approach will it ? How can they make him an offer the Don needs to give permission to speak to him first ! they already have a manager anyway, total bullsh*t. I think there was a reference during the Chelsea v Benfica match last week , that their season had disintegrated and they were likely to end up with bugger all to show, so their manager is probably on thin ice if true.

CB Fry Posted 29 May, 2013 Share Posted 29 May, 2013 Seems unlikely on all levels. Can see how he would go there, one day. A great opportunity to win a league and do well either in the CL or win the Europa. Perfect stepping stone to the really big (rich) European clubs. But can't see him going now.

They lost the title to Porto, the Europa League Final to Chelsea, and the Portuguese Cup Final to Vitoria Guimaraes in the space of 10 days. Not quite the treble they were after.
