Mauricio Pochettino Reportedly Set to Stay at Tottenham Amid Real Madrid Rumours

Tottenham Hotspur's Mauricio Pochettino will reportedly reject the chance to become Real Madrid manager, although it's also been said Los Blancos are ready to be patient in pursuit of the Spurs boss.

According to Sami Mokbel of the Daily Mail, Pochettino won't force a move to the Santiago Bernabeu as he didn't want to be "labelled a mercenary," having only recently agreed a new long-term contract with the north London club.

In the report it's added that after showing loyalty to Spurs, the manager wants to see players do the same.
