Journo downplays former Tottenham favourite’s ‘tantalising’ chances of succeeding Postecoglou

Tottenham are having a bad period of time and as every Tottenham manager faces, Big Ange is currently having significant pressure on his head. Despite getting several chances, he is not being able to produce the results the club urgently requires. If he can’t improve the situation, Tottenham might have to consider changing managers. Many fans are hoping for the return of their previous manager, whose exit left them devastated.

For now, Postecoglou’s position remains secure, but if results don’t improve, Daniel Levy may have no option but to dismiss him.

Should that scenario unfold, Tottenham will need a replacement, and several candidates have already been linked. Among them, Mauricio Pochettino’s name stands out, with many supporters still holding him in high regard and hoping for his return.

The change is very unlikely to happen

Pochettino, following the footsteps of many before him, was unable to win a trophy at Spurs, but he got closer than anyone else did with the Champions League final. In the last 15 years, no other manager has made Tottenham as competitive as he did.

While Pochettino disappointed some Tottenham fans by eventually becoming the manager of Chelsea, many still respect him greatly. Some believe he could have achieved more if he had received the same level of support as Postecoglou over the past 18 months.

This has sparked hope among fans for Pochettino’s potential return. However, Dean Jones has suggested speaking to GiveMeSport, that while the idea may be enticing for the 52-year-old, the chances of it happening are extremely slim.

Dean Jones speaking to GiveMeSport, shared his views on the situation

“A return for Mauricio Pochettino would undoubtedly excite Tottenham fans, but is very unlikely.

“He has recently taken charge of the United States men’s national team and while a north London comeback remains a tantalising prospect, his current commitments make it improbable in the near term.”

Tottenham’s upcoming league fixtures against Brentford, Manchester United, Ipswich Town, Manchester City, and Bournemouth present a daunting challenge, with the potential to drop points across the board. However, if Postecoglou can hold off Liverpool and secure a place in the Carabao Cup final, it could provide the lifeline needed to stabilise his position at the club.
