Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has provided the major reason he was not appointed as Manchester United boss over summer.<\/p>\n

The Argentine said it was simply an issue of \u2018timing\u2019 after he came very close to being appointed to oversee the rebuilding job at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

But the Red Devils decided to settle for Erik ten Hag, who joined from.Ajax in the summer.<\/p>\n

The 50-year-old is currently out of job since he was sacked by PSG in the summer and is biding his time before making a return to management.<\/p>\n

\u201cSoccer is \u2018timing. These are the moments for it to coincide and for that marriage to happen. Sometimes it\u2019s just a matter of time,\u201d he said, according to Metro.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t believe in trains passing only once. I think that sometimes you have to have the necessary patience and you have to know how to wait.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe \u2018timing\u2019 is handled by football, it is true that my name has always been associated with big clubs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pochettino, who played at the central defensive role in 1989 with Primera Divisio\u0301n club Newell\u2019s Old Boys, has gone on to manage some notable clubs.<\/p>\n

He also played for PSG, a club he joined In 2001, and later played for Bordeaux, before returning to Espanyol in 2004.<\/p>\n

Pochettino has managed top clubs such as Espanyol, Southampton, Tottenham and most recently Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n
