Mauricio Pochettino has been cut in the betting to be the next Real Madrid manager.
The Tottenham boss is the latest name to be linked with the vacancy at the Bernabeu with Julen Lopetegui expected to be sacked imminently after a terrible start to the season in La Liga.
The Champions League winners are widely thought to have already made the decision to dispense with the services of the former Spain job and it now appears as if Pochettino is a genuine contender for the role.
The Spurs boss made his name in Spain as a player and a manager with Espanyol and it would surely be only a matter of time before he returns.
It has been a difficult few days for Tottenham after a new delay to their stadium and a poor result in the Champions League and this latest news is likely to act as a hammer blow to the fan base.
Bet Victor have cut Poch from 25/1 into 12/1 over the past day in the race to be the new Real Madrid manager which is a significant market move.
Antonio Conte remains the favourite having left Chelsea in the summer but this money for the Argentinian is certainly to be considered as the race for one of the most important jobs in world football continuing to hot up.
The 46-year-old has built a stellar managerial reputation at Espanyol, Southampton and Tottenham over the past decade and it could be that now is the time for him to make the next step.
