Tottenham Hotspur would still pursue former manager Mauricio Pochettino if he became available as doubts grow about Nuno Espirito Santo’s suitability for the job.
According to Football Insider, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy was desperate to secure Pochettino’s return in the summer but Paris Saint-Germain were unwilling to let him leave.
A protracted hunt for a new manager culminated in the appointment of Nuno Espirito Santo, who was far from the club’s first choice.
That’s remained the case as results have turned, with a particularly insipid showing in defeat to Arsenal last weekend.
Although there’s no suggestion that Nuno’s future is under immediate threat, there are certainly concerns brewing amongst the Spurs hierarchy.
That’s led to speculation that Levy could look to entice Pochettino back to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium if the opportunity arises.
Many Spurs players and supporters never warmed to Mourinho’s confrontational style, which caused a lot of friction throughout his short and tempestuous reign.
