'The best scenario for Pochettino is Madrid this summer' | Graham Hunter

Football expert Graham Hunter believes Mauricio Pochettino could become Real Madrid's manager in the summer.

The Argentinian has been heavily linked with the managerial role at Manchester United.

Speaking to OTB AM on Wednesday morning, Hunter previewed tonight's Champions League clash between PSG and Madrid.

If Pochettino's side can turn the gears and win comfortably, Hunter thinks this could be the end for Carlo Ancelotti.

"If PSG cut loose tonight, then I think Ancelotti - having been booked by Florentino Perez three weeks ago, will see a second yellow," claimed Hunter. "Then, I think Pochettino will take over in the Summer."

The Scotsman added the former Spurs head coach has not enjoyed his time in Paris thus far.

"Let me be crystal clear - as it stands right now, Pochettino does not want to be PSG coach next season. The conditions aren't right. He's not particularly enjoying himself."

"I think, either way, he has an argument to go to his employers and say he wants to leave. If he wins the trophy (Champions League), he probably gets a walking pass."

"Having had a chance to put up a cricket score in the Parc des Princes against Madrid, you're out of the cup - and the league is a procession to me - then he walks either way."

Hunter doesn't see Pochettino making the switch from Paris back to the Premier League with Manchester United."

"I don't know what he thinks of Manchester United, but from an analytical eye, there are similarities between how Man United and PSG is run on a day-to-day basis."

"From my analytical eye, the best scenario for Pochettino is to be Real Madrid manager next season."

"The stadium is just about finished and paid fully. The squad is very good, reasonably well-constructed. You're working in a winning environment.

In terms of completion, there are not masses of work to be done."

"He functions much more comfortably. It's a club that wanted him before. "There's a feeling of a circle being complete. Knowing what Perez is like – Ancelotti won't be the coach next season if they perform as they did in Paris."
