THis stars appear to be gearing up for a reunion with Mauricio Pochettino and Tottenham Hotspur. The legendary manager is not only keen but also seems keen to return to English football, despite his current role with the United States Men’s National Team (USMNT).
The 2025-26 Premier League season has become a nightmare for Spurs. Under interim coach Igor Tudor, the team has a record of 0 wins, 1 loss, and 4 draws in their last five games.
The Tudors briefly appeared to have steadied their ship, but Tottenham’s recent poor performance has reignited speculation about a change in leadership. Attention quickly shifted to Pochettino. He recently expressed his admiration for English football.
Pochettino’s future after the World Cup
Pochettino, currently the USMNT manager, is preparing for this summer’s 2026 FIFA World Cup. His contract expires at the end of the tournament, so his future is wide open.
In a recent interview with L’quipe, Pochettino admitted:
I miss English football. I love this country, its culture, its football culture.
He added: “This is the ideal place for competitive people who like to measure themselves against others and test their abilities. There you always have to do your best.”
What does this mean for Tottenham?
Although a return to the USMNT cannot be ruled out, several international media outlets believe Pochettino is Spurs’ top choice.
According to the Telegraph, Argentina national team coach and former Marseille manager Roberto de Zerbi is the frontrunner to replace Tudor.
With the World Cup just around the corner, Tottenham fans will be looking forward to a reunion with one of the club’s most famous managers.
