Tottenham Hotspur could soon be looking at appointing a new manager.

Antonio Conte‘s future at Spurs looks uncertain in wake of his dramatic post-match interview last time out.

Speculation regarding Tottenham’s next move has intensified massively in recent days.

But who could Spurs bring in to succeed Conte in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium dugout?

One name will always be doing the rounds – Mauricio Pochettino.

And according to journalist Shaun Custis, the Argentine is incredibly keen on getting his job back at Spurs.

“Pochettino has been pushing like mad to get his job back,” he told talkSPORT.

However, Custis also noted that Daniel Levy is very reluctant to turn to Pochettino.

This could be seen as an admission that it was a mistake to let the 51-year-old go in the first place.

Danny Murphy probed further on Custis’ claim regarding Pochettino’s alleged interest in the N17 job.

“Yeah, he absolutely has,” he told the former Tottenham midfielder.

Daniel Levy seems very reluctant to admit, if you like, that he made a mistake in the first place.

“Or to bow to the pressure that is on him to have Pochettino back.”

Welcome speculation

Pochettino is a ‘world-class‘ manager who needs no introduction, particularly at Spurs.

He gave Tottenham and their fans some of the best times they’ve had in their recent history.

Since Pochettino left N17, things haven’t quite gone to plan.

This is despite hiring marquee managers like Conte and Jose Mourinho.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens in the coming days and weeks.

Spurs fans will surely love the prospect of Pochettino returning to the club.
