Pochettino, currently leading the United States men’s national soccer team, remains a highly respected figure in North London.
During his five-year spell at Tottenham between 2014 and 2019, he transformed the club into consistent top-four contenders and guided them to the 2019 UEFA Champions League final.
His tenure is still viewed by many within the club as one of the most progressive eras in Spurs’ modern history.
Tottenham identify Pochettino as top target
Tottenham’s interest in Pochettino is not merely sentimental. Sources indicate that key figures within the hierarchy believe his tactical identity, emphasis on youth development, and understanding of the club’s culture could restore long-term stability.
However, with Pochettino committed to the U.S. national team through the summer tournament, any return would likely have to wait.
This timing has prompted Tottenham to consider an interim solution, a manager capable of steadying the team in the short term while a more permanent plan is shaped.
Spurs are willing to wait for the waiting game
The strategy shows a desire to avoid rushed decisions and instead align the next long-term appointment with a clear sporting vision.
Within the current coaching structure, John Heitinga is viewed as the only realistic internal candidate.
Recently appointed as assistant, he could potentially step up on a temporary basis alongside fellow coach Justin Cochrane.
Meanwhile, Pochettino is believed to be open to a return to Premier League management.
If circumstances align after the World Cup, Spurs could find themselves revisiting a familiar chapter, one they hope might reignite their pursuit of sustained success.
