TOTTENHAM have cancelled Mauricio Pochettino's press conference today - because the manager is ill.

 
Tottenham cancel Mauricio Pochettino press conference amid Chelsea and Man Utd interest
Mauricio Pochettino will not hold his press conference today due to illness
 
Pochettino was due to address the media at 12.30pm this afternoon at Spurs' Enfield Training Centre.

But Tottenham have had to cancel the Argentine's briefing ahead of his side's FA Cup fourth-round trip to Colchester on Saturday (12.45pm) and have postponed it until tomorrow instead.

Pochettino's illness has come during a week in which the 43-year-old has been linked with a move away from White Hart Lane.
 
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is said to be considering the former Southampton boss as his next permanent manager, with interim coach Guus Hiddink leaving at the end of the season.

Manchester United are also believed to be looking at Pochettino as a long-term replacement for Louis van Gaal.

The ex-defender has won many admirers this season by mounting a title challenge with his young and exciting Spurs side.

The London Evening Standard report Pochettino is fully committed to Tottenham, who are relaxed about his future.
 
This summer he will be two years into a five-year contract but is thought to be happy at the north London club.

And even if Chelsea, United or other suitors were to try and lure Pochettino away, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy would put up fierce resistance.

Tottenham's relations with both Chelsea and United are strained from former deals and Levy is a notoriously difficult negotiator.
