Gary Neville believes Mauricio Pochettino will only return to the Premier League for the Newcastle United job or a role at a 'Big Six' club. The former Tottenham manager is currently out of work after leaving Paris Saint-Germain following a turbulent spell in the French capital.
Pochettino was considered to be among the frontrunners for the Magpies hotseat before the Saudi-backed takeover hit the buffers in 2020. Reports in recent months indicate the 50-year-old remains admired among the Magpies hierarchy, despite Eddie Howe's impressive work in the post since his appointment in November last year.
The former Bournemout boss signed a new long-term contract ahead of the season, having steered Newcastle to a comfortable mid-table finish from the depths of a relegation battle. Howe has received transfer backing in excess of £200 million to lead the transformation of the club from perennial strugglers to challengers at the top of the table.
