Mauricio Pochettino is the current coach of the Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur. It seems that he had a chance of joining at the Santiago Bernabeu but he refused. It was revealed later. At the beginning of the recently finished season when Zidane left the club Real Madrid, the President of the club Perez was desperate to bring a perfect coach to the Bernabeu. His first choice was Mauricio Pochettino. But the Argentine refused the offer of Perez back then. For the reason, Pochettino made a joke with Real Madrid earlier. he made a statement which was a simple joke it seems but now he is paying for that.
In a press briefing, the Spurs boss stated that before the Champions League final, they will use the Real’s practice venue for practice and will stay at the hotel beside the ground. He claimed that he spoke with the Real’s President Perez and wanted to use their Sports Center. But, Perez said to him that when he will join at the Bernabeu, he can stay at the Sports Center freely, not before that. It is a joke no doubt.

Earlier today on their official website, Real Madrid revealed a statement about the topic. They are fully surprised about the statement of Spurs boss Pochettino. Pochettino claimed that he requested for staying at the Sports Center before the Champions League final. But now Real Madrid wants to make it clear.
There is no request received like that, it is completely a lie. Real Madrid did not get any request from UEFA, Spanish Football Federation, Atletico Madrid, Liverpool, and Tottenham. They tried to accept all the requests from them.
Now, when the Zinedine Zidane has returned to the Santiago Bernabeu, Pochettino will get no chance of being the coach of Real Madrid. And for the next coach of Real, he has now burned the bridge after making the statement or the joke which you preferred. A couple of days ago, he stated that he wants to leave Tottenham Hotspur and also wished of joining at the Bernabeu.
