Tottenham Hotspur continue to be strongly linked with a return for Mauricio Pochettino as the club looks for answers to its ongoing managerial crisis.
The appointment of Igor Tudor has failed to deliver results, leaving Spurs sitting 17th in the table, just one point above the relegation zone. Supporters have long called for Pochettino’s return after he previously guided the club through one of its most successful periods. Recent betting updates suggest growing momentum behind that possibility, with odds of his comeback shortened to 3/1.
Football Insider has explored whether bringing Pochettino back could restore stability to the Tottenham dugout and lead a much-needed rebuild.
Can Pochettino rebuild Tottenham? ⚽
As the current head coach of the United States men’s national soccer team, any move for Pochettino is unlikely before the summer. Regardless of which division Tottenham compete in next season, the Argentine would face a major task reshaping the squad.
During his previous spell in North London, Pochettino built a strong team and signed key players such as:
Son Heung-min
Dele Alli
Toby Alderweireld
All three developed into top performers under his leadership.
However, since leaving Spurs, his transfer record has been mixed. At Paris Saint-Germain F.C., despite signing superstars like Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos, he struggled to maintain consistent elite-level results. A similar pattern followed at Chelsea F.C., where some signings under his tenure failed to meet expectations—though acquisitions such as Cole Palmer and Moisés Caicedo proved more successful.
Because of this uneven recruitment record, questions remain about whether he can oversee a decisive and effective summer transfer window—arguably one of the most important periods in Tottenham’s recent history.
Other managers linked with the job 🧠
While Pochettino remains a strong contender, several other names are also being discussed:
Roberto De Zerbi — currently the leading candidate, especially if Spurs remain in the Premier League
Sean Dyche — known for keeping teams in the top flight
Marco Silva — considered an outside option
Robbie Keane — another outsider linked with the role
In short, a Pochettino return would bring familiarity and proven leadership, but rebuilding Tottenham would still be a massive challenge regardless of who takes charge.
