Report: Tottenham Hotspur tell Mauricio Pochettino of their decision after ‘brief talks’
Tottenham Hotspur have told Mauricio Pochettino that they will not be hiring him again in the upcoming months as they continue their search for a permanent replacement for Antonio Conte.
The Daily Star, citing The Express, reports that the club had a brief discussion with the Argentine coach and informed him of their decision. Pochettino was sacked by the club in the 2019-20 season, despite leading them to the 2019 UEFA Champions League final.
Many people believe that this was a mistake, and this belief is only getting stronger with each new manager. However, Spurs apparently want a fresh perspective, which is understandable.
The potential re-hiring of Mauricio Pochettino is viewed as a safe choice by some, given his previous tenure of around five years at the club and his familiarity with over half of the current squad as he was responsible for laying down the team’s foundations.
Despite Pochettino’s familiarity with the team, some argue that he was unable to lead the team to victory in major competitions. It has been nearly 15 years since any manager has won trophies with Spurs, and the fear is that Pochettino may not be able to break that streak if rehired.
However, some believe that the club needs stability, which may be overlooked in their search for quick success.
One potential benefit of rehiring Pochettino is his familiarity with Harry Kane, which may help the club retain the striker. Additionally, with the recent news of Fabio Paratici taking a leave of absence, the club is currently in a period of uncertainty.
Pochettino’s previous experience with the club could provide a sense of stability during this time. Furthermore, the coach has gained more experience and refinement since his last tenure, highlighted by his success with PSG in winning the Ligue 1 title during the 2021-22 season.
