Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino spotted in Madrid

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has been spotted in Madrid airport, having kept a low profile since being sacked by the North London club.

The Argentine was relieved from his position last week after a poor run of results that left Spurs sitting in 14th in the Premier League table.

Pochettino has been linked with making a return to management at Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, with the latter establishing interest in the former Spurs boss some time ago.

In a picture released by The Sun, the 47-year-old can be seen heading for the arrivals area of Madrid airport after landing at 10am on Friday morning.

It is thought that Pochettino will take a break from management until the summer following a five-year spell working at Spurs.

According to recent reports, the manager has also attracted interest from Arsenal following the club's decision to dispense with Unai Emery.
