Reports in England claim the Manchester United and Newcastle United were previously interested in his services, while his name popped up once again in recent months as Zidane's possible successor.
Victor Sanchez, who played under Pochettino at Espanyol, feels the former Spurs manager is able to coach at any team in the world, including Los Blancos.

"He is in the best moment in his career," Sanchez told Marca. "I think he'll end up coaching Real Madrid at some point, because he's always liked them a lot. "He's earned the respect of other coaches and right now he can coach any team."
Zidane was linked with a departure earlier this month after a shaky set of results, but Real have managed to turn their form around in both LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League.
