READ CELTIC VERDICT
While it is certainly an ambitious plan if the club are looking to appoint Pochettino, there’s no denying that he would be an excellent choice to replace Pellegrini.
The former Spurs boss did an brilliant job with the North London club, and is widely regarded as one of the best manager’s currently available in Europe.
It would therefore be a huge coup for the Hammers if they could convince him to join, though it appears unlikely at this stage.
