'To be honest': Mauricio Pochettino gives his verdict on one day returning to Tottenham

Yesterday at 02:30 PM

Mauricio Pochettino has been discussing the possibility of one day returning to Tottenham Hotspur, almost five and a half years on from his sacking.

Pochettino spent six seasons in charge of Tottenham Hotspur in which he did a remarkable job as he had the club regularly competing for major honours.

His time in North London never saw him deliver a trophy as they finished runners up in the Premier League, Champions League, League Cup and FA Cup semi finalists.

Many supporters have always felt that one day the Argentine would return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and he has now opened up that possibility.

Mauricio Pochettino reveals his desire to return to Tottenham

Mauricio Pochettino has admitted that he would one day like to return to Tottenham as he feels he has unfinished business in the capital.

The current United States national team coach wants to return to finish what he started at Spurs, with the next time hopefully producing silverware.

Pochettino, who’s backed Ange Postecoglou to turn things around at Tottenham, revealed that ever since he was sacked he hoped that one day he would return to the club.

Pochettino told TalkSPORT: “To be honest, the day that I left the club, I always thought that one day I would come back. I was thinking before the US national team, I was thinking to come back, since I left, I was thinking I would love to come back to Tottenham.

“I felt the moment that I left that I had unfinished business and that is why it is a dream. For sure, it’s a club that is always going to be special for me and I would like to one day have the possibility again to finish in a different way.”

Mauricio Pochettino on the job he did at Chelsea

Pochettino is adamant that he did a ‘really important’ job at Chelsea which allowed the club to compete for European football again, with the West London club having finished in the bottom half the season prior.

The 53-year-old says that he allowed the dynamic at Stamford Bridge to change and now there is a positive feeling for the future of Chelsea.

“I think it was, not a successful period, a really important period for the club, I think in the way we arrived and moved the project and the team forward despite the circumstances,” Pochettino added.

“I think it was a good season for us, I think to change the dynamic, to put the team in a position to play in Europe again and to be positive again.”
