Mauricio Pochettino Doesn't Feel He's 'Missed the Train' to Manage Real Madrid

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino says he does not feel he's "missed the train" to manage Real Madrid.

Los Blancos have been regularly linked with Pochettino this season after firing Julen Lopetegui and his replacement Santiago Solari but have now brought Zinedine Zidane back to the club on a deal that runs until June 2022.

"I don't have the feeling that I missed the Madrid train. I don't look at the long term, I'm happy and I still have four years left on my contract," he told Mundo Deportivo (h/t Alex Young and Ben Hayward at the Evening Standard).
