Mauricio Pochettino has an offer from Benfica to take over from Jorge Jesus. The Lisbon coach has led the team to the finals of the Europa League and the cup, losing both, a fact that was repeated with the Portuguese league when he lost to Porto in the last minute of the penultimate game of the season.

Premier league Pochettino arrived mid-season, meeting the target set to stay another season among the greats of English football. The former Espanyol coach saved Southampton with some reassurance.

The Argentine coach has a contract with Southampton, but the work done at Espanyol and during his time in the Premier League, has led Luis Felipe Vieira, President of Benfica, to think the Argentinian should become the Head Coach of Benfica. Jorge Jesus has been in charge for four seasons, but his last few weeks have been difficult regardless of defeats in the finals. The confrontation with Oscar Cardozo, who he pushed at the end of the cup final, has made ​​it a difficult situation with the squad.

Mauricio Pochettino was considered last season as one of the coaches who was a possible replacement for Mourinho, a coach who he has a good friendship with. Good style displayed by Espanyol during the previous campaigns sparked interest from different teams, but the poor economy dragged the Catalan club down. Pochettino had to leave the office in the last days of November, before a month and a half later making his Premier League debut as manager of Southampton.

There you go folks.
 
If he is offered the job then, I would be pleasantly suprised if he didn't take it, its one of the biggest clubs in Europe. Who know's if he wil lbe offered anything better in the future.

The worrying thing is that it was a tweet like this that was posted on a Thursday evening about him coming to us and Adkins going. Dismissed out of hand by most but we all know what happened. I hope it is not the case this time.
 
Just spoken to a mate who moved out to Spain, and reports on Espanyol for a living these days.

He says José Félix Díaz (who broke the story) is a good and reliable source. Not what I wanted to hear.
 
My gut feeling is he probably won't take it, but it's a close call. Not an easy decision to make - let's hope Nicola's persuasive powers prove to be effective once more.

However, if he does go, how do we know there will not be another great manager we haven't really come across just waiting in the wings?
 
It would be a huge, huge shame were he to go. Not a massive surprise if he had his head turned by Benfica, but I'm holding out hope that, like Nicola when he got the call from AC Milan, he has enough faith and excitement in the project to stay.

I'm not doubting the original story, I reckon it has been offered, all on Pochettino to decide. Huge decision to make, he could take his shot at the big-time now, or he could risk it with us, if he pulls it off here he will look incredible, if he cocks it up here he may never get another shot again at a big club. Putting my Southampton cap to the side, I reckon I'd be tempted to go if in the same shoes.
 
Best I can tell, Jorge Jesus was -- at four years -- the longest-serving Benfica manager since the 1950s. It's not the sort of place you go with the expectation that you'll be there for any great amount of time, but it's one of the better stepping-stones to the giants of continental football.
