In a surprising twist at Tottenham Hotspur, murmurs of Mauricio Pochettino’s return to North London are gaining traction, despite current manager Ange Postecoglou still being in post. There’s been ongoing communication between chairman Daniel Levy and Pochettino since the latter’s departure, with speculation mounting—even amid potential European success for Postecoglou.

Following a commendable fifth-place finish in the Premier League last season, hopes were running high for Postecoglou’s sophomore year, bolstered by his confident declarations of second-season success. However, those ambitions have hit a stumbling block, with Spurs languishing at 14th in the table.
Per GIVEMESPORT, there’s growing sentiment that even clinching the Europa League may not spare Postecoglou. Prospective replacements have been mooted, with names like Andoni Iraola and Marco Silva surfacing, yet the spectre of Pochettino looms large. His cordial rapport with Levy and ongoing exchanges make a reunion plausible, even as Pochettino currently coaches the USA to lukewarm acclaim.
Rumours are abuzz, especially after a photo of Levy and Pochettino together circulated on social media, fuelling talk of the Argentine’s return. Although the photo’s timeline remains unclear, its emergence during this fraught period for Postecoglou intensifies the intrigue.
As Tottenham plan a robust summer investment push, including targeting Viktor Gyokeres, the possible managerial upheaval underlines the club’s tumultuous season and the undying allure of Pochettino’s unfinished business with Spurs.
