Tottenham: Mauricio Pochettino would like to return one day

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino says he would like to return to the north London club one day.

The 53-year-old managed Spurs between 2014 and 2019, leading the club to a second-place finish in the 2016-17 Premier League season, the 2015 EFL Cup final and the 2019 Champions League final.

He was sacked in November 2019 and then managed Paris St-Germain and Chelsea before being appointed United States coach in September.

“When I left the club I always remember one interview I said I would like one day to come back to Tottenham,” the Argentine told Sky Sports., external

“I am in the USA, so I am not going to talk about that now – but what I said then I still, after six years or five years, feel in my heart. Yes, I would like one day to come back.”

Pochettino says he retains a “very good relationship” with Daniel Levy despite being sacked by the Spurs chairman.

“It’s true after nearly six years with all that we lived together, it was tough because of all the ups and downs and emotional things that we lived,” he added.

“We split very well. One thing was professional, another personal and now, like the day after we left Tottenham, we always have a very, very good relationship.”
