Some Tottenham fans are divided over whether Mauricio Pochettino taking over at Real Madrid will be good news for the Lilywhites.
According to reports in Spain, Zinedine Zidane’s future at Real Madrid is under threat following the Spanish giants’ loss to Shakhtar Donetsk has left them on the brink of elimination from the Champions League.
Former Tottenham manager, Pochettino is currently the front runner to replace the Frenchman in the Santiago Bernabeu hot seat.
While some Spurs fans view Pochettino taking over at Madrid as positive news since it will keep the Argentine away from managing a Premier League rival such as Manchester United, others are worried what the 48-year-old’s appointment could mean for Sergio Reguilon’s future.
Madrid have a buy-back clause in Reguilon’s contract that can be activated either next summer or in the summer of 2022 (Alasdair Gold).
