Lionel Messi is the one player that every mananger and player would love to work with.
Pochettino has expressed his desire to coach him, but at Newell’s Old Boys in Argentina.
The former Tottenham boss, who is currently out of work, began his playing career at Newell’s in Argentina.
The Argentine also emerged from within the club’s youth system before being absorbed into the famous La Masia academy at Barcelona.
And Pochettino has made it clear that he is ready to answer the call and form a possible dream team.
Mauricio Pochettino rejected the chance to manage FC Barcelona in January but he's now come out to state he wants to return to one of his former clubs with Lionel Messi.

“I want to return to Newell’s with Messi. He told Radio del Plata.
“I can still wait, [for an opportunity] and the best [possible scenario] would be in 10 years with Messi.”
Pochettino also added that a World Cup win remains “a huge goal for Messi and for the Argentine team.”
“I hope he arrives at a great moment. Age gives him [this].
“His presence will be a recognition of the generation that deserved something more. Argentina is going to arrive well [equipped] to fight for the World Cup.”
Messi is yet to win a major international trophy with Argentina and the World Cup 2022 in Qatar could be his last shot to make that right.
