Tottenham Hotspur will make one last push for Mauricio Pochettino, The Sun reported last night.
While most outlets have suggested that Antonio Conte is set to arrive at Tottenham, it seems that the Sun believe that Pochettino’s arrival is still a possibility.
Tottenham made the PSG boss their top target for the job, but getting him away from the French giants have proven difficult – despite his desire to comeback.
The Sun say that PSG now are actually wiling to let Pochettino go, though.
They would be interested in both Didier Deschamps and Zinedine Zidane, but the pair would not be available until after Euro 2020.
That may be too long for Tottenham to wait, as they have already gone almost two months without a manager.
Levy knows that Spurs must start planning for next year, and that may lead to Conte arriving.
But it seems that a final plea for Pochettino, who earns £6.5 million a year at PSG (Le Parisen), could be on the cards.
Mixed reports
That contradicts what Alasdair Gold is reporting, as he said on Youtube that any hope that Tottenham would go for Pochettino has now been extinguished.
In truth it does seem most likely that Pochettino’s return looks extremely unlikely now.
But for those fans who were dreaming of his return, The Sun’s report may provide some reason for optimism.
