Mauricio Pochettino remains popular with PSG’s players amid rumours he could return to Tottenham Hotspur, the Athletic report.
Tottenham reportedly entered talks with Pochettino yesterday, as they sought after a new manager to replace Jose Mourinho.
Pochettino is said to be open to the idea of returning to Tottenham, but any deal is difficult.
Indeed, PSG’s players are said to be fond of Pochettino, despite him not having the impact many expected.
PSG have failed to win the league title this term or the Champions League, after exiting against Manchester City.
The board, though, are not pushing Pochettino to go – instead they feel he needs more time to mould the squad.
Indeed the Athletic say some sources in France feel that Tottenham know the Argentine is off limits and are just trying to buy time by approaching him.
Exciting news
The rumours of a return have sparked great excitement at Tottenham though and with good reason.
Pochettino did a magnificent job during his first stint at Spurs, despite a disappointing final year in charge.
The Athletic have already reported that Tottenham’s players are also excited about the potential of him coming back.
And if he was to make the switch it could help to unify Spurs supporters, in a time when their fan base has grown increasingly frustrated.
