Mauricio Pochettino is one of the most talented managers in the Premier League and could soon be a wanted man around the world. He's revealed which jobs he would like and one he won't be taking.
It's been a mixed bag for Spurs so far this season, going from being lauded after their win over Manchester United to criticised to the hilt following their three losses in a row just a couple of weeks later.
Three wins in a row in the Premier League and Carabao Cup have put Mauricio Pochettino's side back where they should be in the top three, ahead of a Champions League fixture with Barcelona.
The big problem for manager Mauricio Pochettino in the medium to long term is that Spurs are now consistently in the top four but the chances of them winning the league remain slim and some fans would like some silverware, whilst critics feel he needs it.

Eventually Pochettino is likely to move on from Spurs and if Jose Mourinho were to leave Old Trafford anytime soon that would be one job he'd be heavily linked with.
Speaking to Marca, via Football365, the former Espanyol defender let it be known he'd never be Barcelona boss but revealed two jobs he would like, saying:
"It's something that is more than understood.
"I have a lot of friends in Barcelona, who are from the Blaugrana and to whom I have enormous respect, but my path and that of Barcelona are different, opposite directions, and coaching there would be impossible.

"At a professional level, some day I'd like to be Argentina coach and also coach Newells Old Boys, where I started.
"They are two of the dreams I have, but for now, it's to get to Tottenham as high as possible and always winning. That is my philosophy."
Speaking about facing his former side's Catalan rivals Pochettino added, "It motivates me being a periquito and living so many years in Barcelona. Going back to the city is always nice and playing against Barcelona, too. It is always motivating."

His future may not lie with Barcelona but his immediate future lies against them and the north London side could really do with getting something out of the match.
Their first game in Europe this season ended in defeat against Inter at the San Siro, they threw away a late lead against the Italians.
Will Pochettino and his men get the tree points?
