Rio Ferdinand has said that Mauricio Pochettino is the perfect manager for Tottenham Hotspur.

The former Manchester United defender has said on his YouTube channel that Spurs should bring Pochettino back to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The pundit has noted that the Argentine boss has become more mature and has got more experience since his first spell at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Pochettino made Tottenham Premier League top-four regulars.

Under the former Southampton boss, Tottenham challenged for the Premier League title on occasions and also reached the final of the UEFA Champions League in 2019.

Pochettino led PSG to Ligue 1 success last season.

The Argentine is without a managerial job at the moment.

Antonio Conte has left Spurs by mutual agreement.

Unlike Antonio Conte, Pochettino would not ask for a lot of money and would work with what he is given.
