Tottenham Hotspur remain in pursuit of a new permanent manager after parting company with Antonio Conte in March.

Plenty of names have been linked with the Spurs reins, including Mauricio Pochettino and Julian Nagelsmann.

Graham Potter’s recent sacking at Chelsea has seen his name doing the rounds again on the rumour mill.

Potter was relieved of his duties at the start of April following a run of just four league wins in 19.

The 47-year-old departed with a record of 12 wins, eight draws and 11 defeats from his 31 matches in charge.

Tottenham reportedly held talks with Potter two years ago, when he was still at Brighton.

Now, with Spurs looking for a manager and Potter a free agent, the opportunity of a reunion cannot be ruled out.

Alasdair Gold hosted a Q&A on football.london and plenty of fans asked him about the club’s managerial situation.

“I would be shocked if Graham Potter doesn’t come into conversation again as he did in 2021,” he said.

“Even after his tough time at Chelsea.”

Our view

Potter certainly seemed like a great shout for Tottenham two years ago.

At the time, football.london reported that a number of Tottenham players had been repeatedly impressed by Potter’s Brighton side when they’d come up against them.

Apparently they were open to the club moving for the 47-year-old.

And in November, Pep Guardiola said Potter was “one of the best managers from my point of view, we have in this league.”

However, Spurs fans could well be thinking twice about Potter’s suitability at the highest level after struggling with Chelsea.

At the same time, you’ll always have managers for whom it just doesn’t work out at one club, but they bounce back with another club.

Potter’s style of play certainly fits Tottenham, so it’s certainly one to watch in the coming weeks and months.
