Tottenham make contact over Pochettino return just 18 months after sacking PSG boss



Tottenham have made initial contact over bringing Mauricio Pochettino back to the club as their manager just 18 months after sacking him, Goal can confirm.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy continues to have a positive relationship with the club's former head coach, despite sacking him and replacing him with Jose Mourinho.

However, it remains unclear what Pochettino will decide to do, given that he remains in his post at Paris Saint-Germain, the club he only joined at the start of this year.

What is PSG's stance?
PSG's position on Pochettino's future remains unclear having only appointed their former player in January 2021.

He immediately won the Trophee des Champions and followed that up by winning the French Cup, beating Monaco 2-0 in the final.

However, the Ligue 1 side have suffered significant disappointment in both the league and the Champions League in what has been an up-and-down season for the club.

Indeed, PSG missed out on reaching a second consecutive European final after being well-beaten by Pep Guardiola's Manchester City over two legs.

They also came up short in the Ligue 1 title race, with Lille winning the league on the final day of the season despite having a vastly inferior budget to the French capital club.

Pochettino replaced Thomas Tuchel, who subsequently joined Chelsea after falling out with the hierarchy at the Parc des Princes, and is contracted to the club until 2022, with the option for an extra year.

Who else is in the frame for the Spurs job?
Ajax coach Erik ten Hag, former Leipzig chief Ralf Rangnick and Brighton's Graham Potter have all been linked to the managerial vacancy at Spurs, although Pochettino has now emerged as the favourite for the job.

Antonio Conte, who left his role as Inter boss on May 26, is also available and could be in the frame, while Belgium boss Roberto Martinez has also been rumoured to be in the frame.

Brendan Rodgers had been one of the favourites when the news regarding Mourinho's sacking was first announced, although he has insisted he remains committed to FA Cup winners Leicester City.

Former Spurs player Ryan Mason has been acting as the caretaker manager at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium although it is unlikely he'll get the role on a permanent basis.

News of Pochettino's possible return will likely be well-received by Spurs fans after he helped grow the club's stature and led them to a Champions League final back in 2019.

He has also been lauded for developing a host of the club's key players including Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min and Dele Alli, while he is also known to be comfortable living and working in London.

Tottenham have held talks with Mauricio Pochettino over a sensational return to the club. Pochettino, sacked by Spurs 18 months ago, joined Paris Saint-Germain in January and has caused surprise by entertaining the idea of a swift return to London.

The Argentinian is believed to be interested in reviving his former club, who have encountered frustration in their attempts to replace José Mourinho, and the previously ridiculous notion of a reunion could come to pass.

There is a sense that Pochettino, who has a year remaining on his contract at PSG, is not satisfied in the French capital. Reports in Italy have suggested he is unsure about working with Leonardo, the sporting director, and PSG have endured a difficult season. Although Pochettino won the Coupe de France, his star-studded team finished second in Ligue 1 to Lille and lost their Champions League semi-final to Manchester City.

Much will depend on PSG’s response. The French club are reluctant to lose Pochettino and could block any attempt to leave. PSG, who hired Pochettino after firing Thomas Tuchel last December, would prefer to avoid the upheaval of having to find a manager this summer.

Tottenham, who fired Mourinho in April, have not been put off by PSG’s stance. The appointment of Pochettino would be a huge boost to Daniel Levy, Tottenham’s beleaguered chairman. Levy, who replaced Pochettino with Mourinho, has faced criticism after a disappointing season that ended with Tottenham seventh in the Premier League and qualifying for the Europa Conference League.

Pochettino remains a huge favourite with Tottenham’s supporters. He inspired the team to title challenges in 2016 and 2017, before taking them to the Champions League final in 2019. They were beaten by Liverpool, however, and Pochettino had left by the end of the year.

Tottenham, who finished the season with Ryan Mason in caretaker charge, are in limbo. Harry Kane has made it clear that he wants to leave, sparking interest from Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United, and the squad are crying out for reinforcements.

Levy is under pressure to pick the right manager and has put previous plans on hold to pursue Pochettino. Tottenham have not ruled out Erik ten Hag, even though he could be out of reach after signing a contract extension until 2023 at Ajax, and spoke to the former Bayern Munich manager Hansi Flick before he decided to take the Germany job.

Other names on the list have included Brendan Rodgers, who is highly unlikely to leave Leicester, and Brighton’s Graham Potter, who lacks experience at the highest level. Tottenham have spoken to the unemployed German manager Ralf Rangnick, although it is unclear whether discussions focused on a sporting director role. It is understood that Antonio Conte, who left Internazionale by mutual consent on Wednesday, is interested in the job.

PSG點難頂都好, 先取一次聯賽冠軍先走都未遲, 對自己的執教紀錄好有用.

教咗一季, 起碼都羅咗個法甲FA Cup先. 之前成日二奶命......

On Pochettino. By qualifying to the CL, his contract gets automatically renewed by an extra year.

The interest from Spurs and Team Madrid is real. PSG (as Leonardo has said) want him to stay

The only way for him to move away would be if he said publicly he wants to go

PSG sources deny this when contacted by France Bleu, RMC & The Athletic - as they have all week - but Mauricio Pochettino & his staff remain quiet.

Senior sources at PSG categorically deny this to the case this evening, insist Pochettino is continuing to work with their club on transfer targets. As we know and extensively reported on @TheAthleticUK, Tottenham have been pushing very hard behind the scenes to get Pochettino.

Paris Saint-Germain are still convinced that Pochettino will stay. 🇫🇷 #PSG

Tottenham contacted Poch days ago - PSG position has always been the same. That’s why Levy is also considering other options. ⚪️ #THFC

If Pochettino doesn't make ‘public statement’, he'll stay in Paris.

熱刺當初根本唔應該炒佢啦，搵自己黎搞

Tottenham have contacted Antonio Conte as candidate for Spurs job - not done but talks ongoing about potential project, contract and salary. ⚪️ #Spurs #THFC

Conte is one of the options in #THFC list - as PSG are still on the same position about Pochettino. @SkySport @aalciato
