Pochettino cuts contact with PSG; waits for Real Madrid

Former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has cut off all contact with PSG.

The Argentine, who was sacked by Spurs earlier this season, has also told intermediaries representing Manchester United not to bother calling.

That's according to Mundo Deportivo, which are reporting Pochettino wants to keep himself clear for the Real Madrid job.

There's a growing expectation this will be the last season in charge at Real for Zinedine Zidane - and Pochettino is president Florentino Perez's first-choice to replace the Frenchman.

As such, Pochettino has told PSG - and United - to look elsewhere if they're serious about finding a new manager for next season.
