Mauricio Pochettino responds to rumors of return to Tottenham Hotspur

Recently, Tottenham Hotspur FC sacked manager Angel Postecoglou.Despite leading the team to win the UEFA Cup, he was unable to retain his position.As a result, speculations started about who would replace him.

Among these rumors, Mauricio Pochettino’s name was once again brought up.He was the former coach of Tottenham Hotspur, coaching the team between 2014 and 2019 and taking them to the first Champions League final in the team’s history.As a result, many considered him to be one of the favorites to be the new Spurs manager.

However, Pochettino himself was quick to come out and clarify.He said, “Since I left Tottenham in 2019, my name has been mentioned every time they changed managers.I’ve seen quite a few of those too and even counted almost 100 possible candidates.”

“To be honest, I don’t really care about these rumors.If it does happen, you guys will naturally know about it.But right now, I’m not thinking about going back to Tottenham at all.I’m focused on coaching the USMNT right now and that’s my whole focus.”

In fact, this kind of “return of the old manager” is very common in the soccer world.Whenever a team changes managers, the media will always bring up the list of former coaches.But that doesn’t mean they are really interested in coming back or suitable to go back.

Currently, Tottenham Hotspur are seriously looking for a suitable new manager.According to media reports, Brentford boss Thomas Frank and Fulham boss Marco Silva are the most likely candidates.In addition, Anthony Ilorra is also on the shortlist.

Overall, although Pochettino has made significant contributions to Tottenham, he is now aiming to help the USMNT develop rather than return to his old stomping grounds.And Spurs need a new coach who can lead the team on a steady path to a new chapter.
