3 possible replacements for Ernesto Valverde at Barcelona

#2 Mauricio Pochettino

Pochettino has made his name at Spurs

The Argentinian manager has been a former RCD Espanyol player and manager. He has proved his mettle by bringing Tottenham Hotspur out of the mid-table in the Premier League into a consistent top 4 finish. He also took Tottenham to the Champions League finals last season which is an added brownie point on his CV. He had improved the players during his reign at Spurs and was not afraid to youngsters a chance.

He was sacked in November 2019, bringing an end to a stint at the club that lasted for more than 5 years earning loads of praise for the work he had done Tottenham over the years. Barcelona is going through a transitional period and Pochettino can oversee that transition and make them a consistent powerhouse once again. Pochettino's association with Espanyol might draw a lot of flak from both Barcelona and Espanyol supporters should the Argentine be appointed as the replacement of Ernesto Valverde at the club. He's available in the market and his stint at Tottenham proves he's ready for a bigger challenge.
