"Tottenham fans still have a lot of affection for Pochettino, who managed them from 2014 to 2019. The Argentine guided Spurs to the Champions League final in 2019, where they lost 2-0 to Liverpool, and also led them to second and third-placed finishes in the Premier League during his tenure. Since his departure from Spurs in 2019, the London club have had Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo, Antonio Conte, Ange Postecoglou and Frank as permanent managers."
"He has had stints at Chelsea and Paris St-Germain, leading the French giants to the Ligue 1 title. Pochettino is currently in charge of the United States and is set to lead them at the upcoming World Cup, which the USA is co-hosting. In addition, the US soccer federation would be owed what has been described by a well-placed source as "one of the biggest financial compensation fees in football history" if Pochettino left for another club before the World Cup."
Tottenham have sacked Thomas Frank after a short tenure since June with the club 16th in the Premier League and five points above the relegation zone. The club seek a new manager immediately and aim to have a successor in place before players return to training on Monday. Mauricio Pochettino remains a popular candidate due to his successful 2014–2019 spell, Champions League final appearance, and subsequent stints at Chelsea and PSG, but he currently manages the United States and would command a large compensation fee before the World Cup. Roberto de Zerbi is also available after leaving Marseille.
