“Is Mauricio Pochettino Set for a Shock Return to Tottenham? The Truth Behind the Rumors revealed
Journalist Dean Jones has shared his thoughts on the possibility of Mauricio Pochettino making a fairytale return to Tottenham Hotspur as manager, potentially replacing Ange Postecoglou.
Are Spurs Looking for a New Manager? Recent reports suggest that despite Tottenham’s disappointing run of form, Ange Postecoglou’s job is not under immediate threat. It’s believed that club officials recognize the impact of the team’s significant injury crisis, which has hindered the squad’s performance in recent months.
However, some sources claim Spurs have already drawn up a shortlist of potential replacements for the 59-year-old, with names like Edin Terzic, Thomas Frank, and Andoni Iraola reportedly in the mix.
Could Mauricio Pochettino Make a Shock Return to Spurs? There have been whispers in recent days that Daniel Levy might turn to former fan-favorite Mauricio Pochettino to rescue the club from its current slump. The Argentine, who became the head coach of the United States men’s national team in September 2023, has previously expressed his desire to return to Spurs one day to finish what he started and lead the club to silverware.
However, Dean Jones believes that a return for Pochettino is “very unlikely” at this stage. He told GiveMeSport: “While the idea of Pochettino returning to Tottenham would excite fans, it seems improbable. He’s currently committed to the U.S. men’s national team, and although a return to North London is appealing, his current responsibilities make it unlikely in the near future.”
Looking Back: Did Levy Miss the Chance to Bring Pochettino Back? In hindsight, it seems that Daniel Levy could have easily reappointed Pochettino in the summer of 2023, as the Argentine would likely have been eager to return to Spurs at the time.
Instead, Levy opted for Postecoglou, a decision that initially appeared wise given the early success the Australian coach had at the club, alongside Pochettino’s fallout with Chelsea’s management. However, looking back, one might wonder if 2023 was the ideal moment for Pochettino’s fairytale return. Not only is he well-acquainted with the club and its environment, but his reappointment could have galvanized the fanbase and brought stability to the team.
