Former Tottenham striker Mido genuinely believes Mauricio Pochettino will leave the club this summer.
The Egyptian ace told talkSPORT2 he fears the popular manager will step down after the Champions League final against Liverpool, and could be set to take over at Juventus.
Pochettino has been mysteriously coy on his long-term future in recent weeks after guiding Spurs to their first ever European Cup final.

Mauricio Pochettino celebrates after Tottenham’s semi-final win over Ajax in Amsterdam
The Argentine, linked with the Real Madrid and Manchester United jobs earlier this season, even hinted he could end his five-year spell in north London if they beat Liverpool in Madrid on May 1.
Speaking ahead of his side’s stunning semi-final comeback against Ajax, Pochettino said: “Winning the Champions League? Yes, it would be fantastic, no? Close a five-year chapter and go home.”
Asked by a reporter if he was joking, the boss then said: “It’s not a joke. Why?
“To win the Champions League with Tottenham, in this circumstance, this season, maybe I need to think a little bit to do something different in the future, for sure.
“Because to repeat this miracle, you know…”

Pochettino’s comments left plenty of heads scratching, and he cast further doubt on his future just days later by again hinting he could leave if he is not ‘given the tools’ for further success.
And, speaking to Paul Coyte on talkSPORT2, former Spurs star Mido said: “Pochettino has done a great job and I would be really, really disappointed if he leaves Tottenham.
“But, I think he will leave.
“I think he will leave [at the end of] this season. Honestly.
“I see him in his press conferences and I hear what he’s saying. I really feel it.”

Mauricio Pochettino has been linked with a move to take over at Italy giants Juventus
Juventus are the latest club to be linked with an interest in the Argentine.
Reports in Italy have even claimed Pochettino has been speaking with the Serie A champions for the past ‘20 days’ over the possibility of succeeding Massimiliano Allegri.
And Mido can see it happening.
“You know what, Juventus would never let a manager go if they didn’t already have a deal with another manager,” he added.
“I really think he will be leaving. I might be wrong, but I have the feeling he will leave.”
