Pochettino Still Watching Spurs Amid Return Rumors
Mauricio Pochettino, now coaching the USMNT, has admitted he still watches every Tottenham game, fueling speculation about a potential return to north London.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Pochettino managed 293 games for Spurs from 2014 to 2019, leading them to a Champions League final. Since then, he’s coached PSG, Chelsea, and took over the USMNT in September 2024. Despite his new role, rumors suggest he could return to Spurs before the 2026 World Cup.
WHAT HE SAID
While not addressing the rumors directly, Pochettino told *The Sun*: “I watch all the games I can, and of course, I always watch Tottenham.” He also praised Postecoglou: “He’s a great coach. Great club, great fans. Nothing but good things to say.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Postecoglou is facing challenges in his second season at Spurs, with inconsistency and a 14th-place Premier League position. However, Pochettino expressed empathy, saying: “Football has ups and downs. Every coach has the capacity to change things.”
WHAT’S NEXT?
Postecoglou has led Spurs to the Europa League’s last 16 but fell short in the Carabao Cup and needs a turnaround in the league with 14 matches remaining.
