Last Tuesday, Tottenham Hotspur's Daniel Levy announced that the club is letting go of Mauricio Pochettino as its head coach following the Argentine's almost six years of reign at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. With Pochettino's exile, some clubs are considering him as their next manager because of his skills, experience, and abilities. However, it appears that his exile may have included an agreement that he will not be allowed to coach Hotspur's rival clubs in north London or another Premier League club in the future.
The claim about Mauricio Pochettino's arrangement with Tottenham was recently reported by Express. The report further claimed that the agreement might have stopped the Argentine coach from taking a job at Arsenal, Manchester United, and other Premier League clubs. However, no additional details about the said agreement were disclosed, so we could not tell at this point the exact time frame it covers.
It is worth noting that Mauricio Pochettino assumed the post as Tottenham Hotspur's boss in 2014 and had a successful five years with the club. The Argentine coach has transformed the Spurs into a regular contender in the Champions League. He also changed the culture and ethos of the club and attracted huge deal signings despite not being able to win a trophy.

The site stated that it is likely that there is an agreement in place for Pochettino's exit at Tottenham that he could not manage Arsenal or any other top-flight club.

Meanwhile, at the Emirates, some of the top execs are still reportedly hopeful that the Gunners can turn things around. But, the 2-2 draw match against Southampton left a bad taste in the mouth, and reports are now claiming that there is growing dissension between members of the board who want to sack the Spanish coach. Moreover, some sites reveal that even Arsenal are losing their faith that Unai Emery is still the right man to help the club salvage its poor performance.
