​Newcastle target Pochettino 'ready for next project'

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino is ready for his next project.

The Argentine was fired by Spurs midway through this season and replaced by Jose Mourinho.

As he is being linked to the Newcastle United job, Pochettino addressed his future with some public comments.

Speaking on his time at Spurs, Pochettino told BT Sport: "It was an amazing journey that finished in the way that, of course, no one wanted to finish.

"But deeper in my soul, in my heart, our ways will cross again. From now, and since the day I left the club, my dream would be to be back to try to finish the work we didn't finish.

"We were so close to winning the right trophies - Premier League and Champions League.

"But now, of course, I am looking forward to move on and I am so motivated for the next project but deep inside I would like one day to be back."
