Mauricio Pochettino denies rumors of returning to Tottenham Hotspur

DBasia.news – Mauricio Pochettino was rumored to be returning to Tottenham Hotspur this summer. However, different facts were revealed by the Argentinean tactician.

Tottenham are looking for a new manager after dismissing Jose Mourinho in April. A number of top architects had entered the list of candidates.

Apart from Pochettino, Tottenham have also been linked with Antonio Conte, Massimiliano Allegri and Julian Nagelsmann. But in the end The Lilywhites appointed Nuno Espirito Santo.

The inclusion of Pochettino’s name in the list of candidates is quite surprising. That’s because he was dismissed by Tottenham and then replaced by Mourinho.

Moreover, Pochettino is currently still under contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Les Parisiens squad on paper is classier than Tottenham.

Pochettino also confirmed his position. He admits he is not thinking about returning to Tottenham this summer.

“We all know what the reality of football is. There are transfers between clubs, involving players and managers, so the rumors are always there,” Pochettino told Le Parisien.

“I have always maintained a calm and smooth relationship with the president (PSG) and with Leonardo. Everything is always clear, there is no reason to say anything else.”

Confirmation of Pochettino’s gesture was confirmed by the extension of his contract. He will stay at the Parc des Princes until 2023.

Pochettino is certainly motivated to become the first coach to be able to present the Champions League trophy. Their chances are greater this season.

The arrival of Sergio Ramos, Achraf Hakimi, Georginio Wijnaldum, and Gianluigi Donnarumma has made PSG stronger. Especially if Kylian Mbappe will be able to be maintained.
